Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong named GNCCI Businessman of the Year
Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong has been honoured as Businessman of the Year at the fifth edition of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) Business Awards. This places him among a select group of business leaders whose work continues to shape Ghana’s economic landscape.
The chamber described Dr Sarpong as a figure whose business philosophy blends ethical practice, innovation, and a strong sense of social responsibility. According to GNCCI officials, these qualities have contributed meaningfully to job creation and community development.
Now in its fifth year, the GNCCI Business Awards has grown into one of the country’s most credible and respected recognition platforms. Its rigorous selection process, built on transparency, merit, and industry-wide consultation, has earned the scheme a reputation for celebrating only the most deserving honourees.
This year’s ceremony brought together policymakers, captains of industry, academics, and influential entrepreneurs to spotlight individuals and organisations whose work is accelerating Ghana’s socio-economic transformation. Attendees described the event as a timely reminder of how pivotal the private sector remains to national growth.
The chamber noted that the purpose of the awards extends beyond celebration. By highlighting the achievements of businesses and industry leaders, GNCCI aims to reinforce the contributions that entrepreneurship and industrial expansion make to Ghana’s development. These contributions, officials said, include employment generation, investment in new sectors, and models of sustainable growth.
Dr. Ofori Sarpong’s recognition reflects his long-standing influence across multiple industries and his commitment to elevating standards within Ghana’s business community. The award, the chamber added, reflects his role as a champion of progress within the private sector.
