The third edition of Ghana Chieftaincy Awards and the Royal Investment Summit have been launched.
This year’s edition, themed “A United Front for Environmental Awareness, Royal Investment and Tourism Promotion”, was officially launched at the Swiss Spirit Alisa Hotel at North Ridge, Accra, on Thursday 17th July 2025.
The launch marks a significant expansion of the awards’ scope to include environmental advocacy, investment promotion and tourism development, alongside its core mission of recognising excellence in chieftaincy.
The launch was held under the auspices of His Majesty Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII, Paramount Chief of Abeadze Traditional Area and Board Chairman of the Ghana Chieftaincy Awards.
The 2025 award ceremony is scheduled to take place on 3rd and 4th October at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi.
Speaking at the launch, Nana Obokese Ampah, Chief Executive Officer of the Obokese Foundation, organisers of the Ghana Chieftaincy Awards, outlined the four thematic pillars of the scheme.
“We have four thematic areas. The first among them is the development of Chieftaincy as an institution, women and youth empowerment, rural support and number four is Diaspora integration,” he noted.
He also announced a partnership with the Blackstar Experience for this year’s awards.
Rex Owusu Marfo, Co-ordinator of the Blackstar Experience, expressed his office’s commitment to the success of the 2025 Ghana Chieftaincy Awards and Royal Investment Summit.
“The Blackstar Experience in partnership with the Obokese Foundation envisage a Ghana where royal investments translate into tangible opportunities for our youth and women. By leveraging the importance of chieftaincy, we can attract ethical investment, revival cultural enterprises and create jobs that will honour our heritage,” he said.
The Ghana Chieftaincy Awards, also known as the Nananom Honours, are organised by the Obokese Foundation to recognise traditional leaders who exemplify leadership, good governance, community development and cultural preservation.
