Humbled
In his acceptance speech, Ing. Ashigbey said he was humbled by the honour, which he dedicated to members of the GCGL.
Expressing gratitude for the honour done him, he said it was a call to contribute towards achieving the goals of ICEG.
He said the success story of GCGL had demonstrated that Ghanaians could contribute to the development of the nation when given the opportunity to do so.
He noted that the development of Ghana lay in the hands of professionals in the country and not politicians.
Ing. Ashigbey, therefore, called on professional bodies in the country to think about how to contribute towards the growth of Ghana.
He urged them to live up to their professional ethics and apply the knowledge they had acquired to challenge policy initiatives, which he noted would ensure the progress of the nation.
Peaceful elections
The Chief Executive Officer of ICEG, Mr Daniel Anim Prempeh FCE, advocated a peaceful general election this year.
He also called on all stakeholders to put mechanisms in place to ensure free and fair elections, as it would be suicidal for the country to go back to past military regimes.
Present at the event were other leaders of the ICEG and the Editor of the Daily Graphic, Mr Ransford Tetteh.
