"I was born and bread in Maamobi a deprived community in Ghana but I have been able to break the odds to become an entrepreneur, philanthropist and businessman. I want to dedicate this award to the youth in the Zongos most especially those from Maamobi and Nima. Let me applaud the organisers of this esteemed award for their superb work. The packaging is outstanding. Honesty is hard to put this feeling into words. I'm honoured to be the first in the banking and finance category. I'm proud to be an African tonight," he said.
Ambassador Amadu also called on investors across the world to come and do business in Africa.
"I want to use this medium to call on investors across the globe to come and do business in Africa because Africa has many businesses.
And of course, Ghana is the gateway to Africa because we have been blessed with many natural resources," he added.
