The Volta Regional Students Association at the Ghana Communication and Telecommunication University (VORSAG-GCTU) has honoured Mr Akwasi Opong-Fosu, Board Chair of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), in recognition of his distinguished leadership and service to Ghana’s development.
A delegation from the association paid a courtesy call to Mr Opong-Fosu at his office on Monday, January 19, 2025 to present a citation to him.
The student leaders commended Mr Opong-Fosu for his long and unblemished public service, describing his commitment to national development as unmatched.
They highlighted how his career, marked by creativity and humility, continues to motivate Ghanaian youth.
The delegation expressed profound gratitude for Mr Opong-Fosu’s support during their recent leadership handing-over ceremony, noting that his counsel on discipline, visionary thinking and institutional consistency has left a lasting impact on their new generation of leaders.
The Founder of VORSAG, Charles Apasu Assor, thanked the GIPC Board Chair for being a reference point for quality leadership.
He further appealed for Mr. Opong-Fosu’s assistance in securing internship opportunities for the association members to help build their professional skills.
Focus on impact
In his response, Mr Opong-Fosu was moved by the gesture and reiterated the core responsibility of leadership —impacting lives.
He admonished the young leaders to prioritise exemplary service over the pursuit of fame, posing the reflective question: “When I am no more here, what will people remember me for?”
The GIPC Board Chair also used the opportunity to express concern over the waning levels of patriotism and nationalism in the country.
He urged all Ghanaians, especially leaders, to be concerned about this trend and to reignite a spirit of national devotion.
The visiting team was led by Founder Charles Apasu Assor and included President Alphons Doamekpor, Vice President Antoinette Adanuvi and Welfare Officer Amedzo Lordina Esela.
