The African Regional Journal has named Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the sixth most inspiring person in Africa.
According to the African Regional Journal, the African Regional Awards are “primarily to celebrate inspiring individuals in Africa and motivate the collective African citizenry to follow in their footsteps.”
They stated what makes a person amazing in the African Journal publication: “Truly inspiring people share two fundamental qualities: they believe in themselves and they believe in others.” They do, however, have other essential characteristics that inspire people around them to want to develop themselves…to reach further and leap higher.”
According to Tarj Events, the African Regional Journal Team chose individuals from around Africa.
“In their research, the Team relied primarily, but not exclusively, on vetted information gathered from authentic sources, and then authenticated by information obtained from print, radio, television, and social media sources”
“The selected candidates were chosen based on their impressive and documented accomplishments in their respective professional sectors. These sectors include business, governance, social impact, and creative inventiveness. Indeed, painstaking efforts have gone into the selection of deserving candidates for this laudable award recognition.”
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has been voted Best Minister in 2017 and 2019 and is a Havard Ministerial Fellow.
He has won several accolades, the most recent being an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the University of Cape Coast in appreciation of his outstanding leadership characteristics.
He has also won comparable recognition from the Winneba University of Education and the University of Professional Studies.
He has also been awarded by the Ghana Civil Service for his “sterling leadership qualities”.
