Two iconic figures in Ghana’s music scene, Daddy Lumba (Charles Kwadwo Fosu) and Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, will be honoured at the 2024 National Honours and Awards ceremony for their outstanding contributions to the creative arts. The event, scheduled for December 30, 2024, at the Accra International Conference Centre, will see both legends awarded the Grand Medal for their exceptional service to the nation.
They will be joined by actress and filmmaker Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante and renowned filmmaker Kwaw Paintsil Ansah, who will also receive the prestigious Order of the Volta (Member). This ceremony highlights the enduring dedication of individuals who have shaped Ghana’s creative landscape.
The National Honours and Awards, established in 1960, recognise individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation’s development. This year’s ceremony also introduces the Presidential Honours for Distinguished Service, created in 2023 to acknowledge contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
