Speaking at the event, the chairman of the occasion, Mr. Kamarudeen Abdullahi, thanked the organisers for the wonderful initiative to champion the cause of the Ghanaian Muslim achiever.
“I am looking forward to celebrating all those who have worked hard enough to be recognised on such a huge platform”.
Mr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, Minister of Information who was the special guest of honour said if Muslims as a people are rewarding excellence, they themselves must also be excellent in their doings.
“I urge all Muslim faithful to be united and not divided. Our relationship with one another are elements that can attain us paradise”.
The launch was interspersed with music and comedy. Ismael did well to entertain the audience with some musical performance and Kulmila stole the night with his stand-up comedy performance which he delivered in Hausa.
Throwing light on the awards scheme, the organisers said the main event will come off on April 28 at the National Theatre.
