The honour is in recognition of Mr Anokye's tireless effort in restoring transparency and stakeholder confidence in the operations of the NCA within a short period of time.

A certificate presented to the NCA boss reads in part that, "this is in recognition of your timely intervention in restoring transparency at the NCA which has reaffirmed stakeholder confidence. Ghana appreciates you".

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Humanity Magazine International, Mr Yahaya Alhassan, presenting the award at a ceremony in Accra said the NCA as a vital state institution needed to be managed by highly competent professionals.

"Indeed, Mr Anokye and his team of dedicated staff have proved to us that they can be trusted to manage the NCA for Ghanaians and we, therefore, appreciate their sacrifices," he said.

Mr Alhassan was optimistic that Mr Anokye, a former telecommunication engineer at the US space agency, would ensure that telecom companies offer the best service at affordable prices to Ghanaians.                           

He said the Humanity Magazine International aimed at promoting quality leadership by recognising the achievements of public and private institutions to serve as shinning examples for other managers to emulate.

"At Humanity Magazine International, we also promote African business by encouraging such business to team up with their counterparts in other parts of the world for these indigenous businesses to expand and create jobs for the youth," he added.

Mr Alhassan encouraged other managers of state-owned institutions and private enterprises to emulate the qualities of Mr Anokye and other winners of the Humanity award by aiming for greatness.
