Etv’s ‘Ghana Most Influential Awards’ Slated For April 19

Accra: 17th April, 2013: e.tv Ghana, will on Friday April 19 hold the 3rd edition of its ‘Ghana’s Most influential Awards ceremony’. The Awards will recognize Ghanaians who made a great impact in the Ghanaian Community in 2012 as voted by the station’s viewers.

Mr. Ebo Gyebi, station Manager of e.tv Ghana, noted that ‘these Awards seek to spotlight Ghanaians who are making a huge impact in the society. We are passionate about recognizing our heroes and to acknowledge their works; we hope that through such events millions of Ghanaians will be inspired to succeed no matter their field of endeavor”.
