Maame Efua Houadjeto, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), has added two significant honours to what is becoming a defining streak of leadership excellence.
At the 15th Goldbond RTP Awards, held at the Accra International Conference Centre, she was named Best Public Company CEO of the Year 2025, a recognition of her strategic management and transformative approach within the public sector.
This follows her international recognition as Global Cultural Ambassador at a Pre-Grammy event in Beverly Hills ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards, a distinction that reflects her growing influence in positioning Ghana’s tourism and creative economy on the global stage.
These recognitions come on the heels of a year widely regarded as a turning point for Ghana’s tourism. Reflecting on the recognition, Mrs Houadjeto noted that, “These honours are not just personal milestones. They reflect the collective effort of the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, and our partners to position Ghana’s culture and tourism as global assets with lasting value.”
Under her leadership, initiatives such as December in Ghana, Heritage Month, culinary activations like Taste 68 at 68, and strengthened diaspora and cultural diplomacy efforts have reshaped how Ghana presents herself to the world.
The local award affirms operational excellence. The international honour signals cultural impact beyond Ghana’s borders. Together, they reinforce a consistent pattern: strategic leadership delivering measurable visibility and influence.
As Ghana continues to strengthen its tourism agenda, her recent awards underscore more than achievement; they signal momentum.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
