There was a warm sense of pride and cultural reflection on Sunday afternoon when distinguished sons and daughters of Asanteman gathered in Kumasi to celebrate excellence and service to society. The event, known as the Asanteman Nkosuo Honorary Awards 2026, brought together business leaders, traditional authorities, professionals and community-minded individuals whose work continues to uplift the Asante community and Ghana at large.
The ceremony was organised by BOMBISCO Multimedia. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere carried both celebration and reflection. Cultural performances, conversations among honourees and a steady presence of media created the sense that something meaningful was taking place.
The awards form part of the Asanteman Nkosuo Magazine initiative, which seeks to document and honour individuals whose work contributes to development, philanthropy, employment creation and social progress within Asanteman.
According to the organisers, the honourees were selected after careful review by an independent committee made up of respected figures from different professional backgrounds.
Throughout the afternoon, speakers used the platform not only to celebrate achievement, but also to speak frankly to the youth about the values that sustain success and community development.
Chairman for the occasion, Mr. Kufuor, Chief Executive Officer of CAKEM Enterprise Ltd., who was himself among the award recipients, used his address to speak directly to young people seeking employment opportunities. Drawing from his experience in business, he noted that employers are always looking for workers they can trust.
“Young people must learn to be trustworthy, faithful and humble. When business owners see those qualities in you, it gives them the courage to employ you and to invest in your future.”
His words resonated with many in the audience, especially young guests who had attended the event hoping to draw inspiration from the experiences of the award winners.

Another award recipient, Mr. Prince Kumi, Chief Executive Officer of Maxi De Car Dealer, shared a more personal reflection on the journey of life and business. Speaking in a relaxed tone that drew nods from several attendees, he reminded the audience that success rarely comes without challenges.
“Life has its ups and downs,” he said. “But if you remain trustworthy, it becomes the secret to growing your business.”
He also spoke about the values that shaped his character. According to him, his sense of generosity was something he inherited from his mother while growing up.
The programme also had the honour of welcoming Nana Afia Serwaa I, Paramount Queen Mother of the Goaso Traditional Area, who was also among the distinguished award recipients. Her presence added a strong traditional voice to the event.
Addressing the youth, the Queen Mother spoke firmly about the growing social challenges affecting young people today. She urged them to stay away from drugs and other forms of substance abuse, warning that such habits destroy promising futures.
She also had special advice for young women and girl students, encouraging them to protect their future by avoiding early and unwanted pregnancies that could interrupt their education and life ambitions.
Beyond the speeches, the event blended celebration with culture. Traditional music and performances reminded guests of the deep heritage of Asanteman, while networking moments allowed honourees and guests to connect and share ideas.
By the close of the programme, one message had clearly emerged: the progress of Asanteman depends not only on successful individuals but on values—hard work, generosity, discipline and service to community.
For many who attended, the Asanteman Nkosuo Honorary Awards 2026 served as both recognition of achievement and a reminder that the future of the Asante people lies in nurturing responsible leadership and community spirit among the next generation.
