Dr. Siaw Agyepong, who was the keynote speaker, was joined by members of the Jospong Group, reinforcing the occasion’s collective spirit and shared values.
Renowned for building one of Africa’s most influential indigenous business groups, he reflected on his personal journey, describing his life as a testament to grace, resilience, and divine direction. He traced his path from modest beginnings to continental leadership, underscoring the importance of faith, discipline, and perseverance through adversity.
He shared reflections on early-life struggles, limited education, and the uncertainties that marked his formative years. These experiences, he noted, shaped his character and cemented his belief that enduring success was anchored not just in strategy or capital, but in purpose, values, and obedience to God.
He also recounted defining moments in his entrepreneurial journey, including pivotal decisions that redirected his focus toward environmental and infrastructure solutions across Africa. Today,
He attributed Jospong Group’s operation in about 25 African countries to consistent prayer, ethical leadership, and a clear mission.
Beyond business, Dr. Siaw Agyepong stressed the duty of Christian business leaders to invest in people, communities, and spiritual development.

The National President of FGBMFI Ghana, Mr. Emmanuel Baba Mahama, described the AH Chapter’s inauguration as both strategic and prophetic.
He highlighted the alignment between the Fellowship’s vision of chapters in every nation and Dr. Siaw Agyepong’s Pan-African business footprint, calling it a practical platform for advancing faith-based leadership.
As part of the ceremony, Dr. Siaw Agyepong was formally received into the Fellowship and presented with official insignia, accompanied by prayers for wisdom, protection, and continued impact in business and societal service.
Mr. Mahama then declared the AH Chapter duly inaugurated, expressing confidence it would become a hub for mentoring, ethical business practice, and Christian witness in the corporate world. He described the chapter as a foundation for broader engagement across sectors and borders.
The ceremony closed in an atmosphere of gratitude and quiet optimism, with participants describing the gathering as both sobering and uplifting.
The organisers noted that the AH Chapter was expected to play a key role in nurturing principled leadership among emerging entrepreneurs, furthering the Fellowship’s mission of transforming lives and businesses through faith.

Minority Leader in Parliament Alexander Afenyo Markin has sued the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, and Multimedia Group Limited over alleged defamatory comments made against him on the Newsfile programme.
In a writ filed at the High Court in Accra, Mr Afenyo Markin is seeking GH¢15 million in damages, an apology and retraction of the statements, among other reliefs.
The suit follows comments allegedly made by Mr Gyamfi during the Saturday, August 22, 2026 edition of Newsfile, hosted by Samson Lardy Anyenini.
According to the statement of claim, Mr Gyamfi described Mr Afenyo Markin as an “extortionist” while responding to a question about GoldBod’s reported profits and its position on losses arising from its operations.
The plaintiff claims that Mr Gyamfi repeated the allegation when the host sought clarification on whether he stood by the description.
Mr Afenyo Markin further claims that Mr Gyamfi challenged him to sue him and insisted that the allegation was true.
The plaintiff argues that the statements created the impression that he engages in extortion, uses his political influence to put improper pressure on public institutions and officials, and conducts himself in a manner inconsistent with the standards expected of a lawyer and public office holder.
He denies the allegations and maintains that he is not an extortionist and has never engaged in the conduct alleged by Mr Gyamfi.
The Minority Leader also argues that the comments were made maliciously and were presented as facts without evidence being disclosed.
He claims the statements have damaged his reputation, professional standing and public image, particularly because of his position as a senior political figure and legal practitioner.
The suit also names Multimedia Group Limited as a defendant because, according to the plaintiff, the alleged defamatory comments were broadcast through JoyNews and subsequently circulated on social media platforms, including X, Facebook and YouTube.
Mr Afenyo Markin claims Multimedia failed to stop the comments or deactivate Mr Gyamfi’s microphone after the allegations were made.
He is therefore asking the court to award him general, aggravated and exemplary damages, as well as GH¢15 million in compensation and legal costs.
He is also seeking an order compelling the defendants to issue a full, unconditional and unequivocal retraction and public apology.
The plaintiff wants the apology and retraction to be given similar prominence and reach as the original publication, including through JoyNews and the social media platforms where the comments were disseminated.
He is further seeking a permanent injunction preventing the defendants from repeating the alleged defamatory statements or words with a similar meaning.
The writ requires the defendants to enter an appearance within eight days after being served.
It warns that failure to do so could result in judgment being entered in their absence.
The case was filed by lawyer Paa Kwesi Abaidoo of Dehyena Chambers on behalf of Mr Afenyo Markin.
