Xodus Communications Limited has announced the winners of the 2022 Forty Under 40 Awards held on Friday, 1st September, at the De Icon Events Centre in Accra.
The 7th edition of the award scheme was in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and seeks to identify, honour and celebrate a cross-section of the country’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of forty from a wide range of industries.
The event started with an exhibition, networking and business forum which featured seasonal speakers such as renowned business mogul, Captain Kofi Amoabeng, Anthony Mensah Dzamfe ( CEO of Caveman Watches), Felix Atsrim ( CEO of FeDems Limited and many others.
Also, the Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Limited with branches in South Africa, Ghana and the United Kingdom, Richard Abbey Junior, took the opportunity to officially launch his new memoir titled ” I Can Never Be Mad Again”.
The fascinating memoir chronicled the journey of how the CEO encountered self-styled hard-core poverty and pulled through.
He narrates the invisible scars which have become his badges of honour.
Addressing the gathering at the event, Richard Abbey Junior said, he is grateful to God for the success chalked, despite the numerous challenges.
According to him, all the winners of the various categories have been scrutinised carefully by the Awarding board and a jury, hence, the need for the winners to celebrate their achievements over the years.
“I want everyone seated here to take lots of inspiration from my book. This should be a great motivation to all who are working hard to achieve great success. Once again, I congratulate the winners of the various categories because it is not easy to attain such success looking at their ages.
Meanwhile, the Director of Finance and Administration at the Ministry of Youth and Sports who represented the sector Minister, Mustapha Ussif urged the youth to believe in themselves and work hard to be exceptional in their ways.
The categories covered various sectors, ranging from banking and finance, energy, business, agriculture, theatre and arts, journalism, fashion, law, sports, event management, health, technology and innovation amongst others.
These are the winners of the 2023 winners;
