The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has emerged as the overall winner at the prestigious Public Enterprises League Table (PELT) Awards, securing the coveted title of State-Owned Enterprise of the Year.
In addition to the top honour, GoldBod also won the Most Profitable State-Owned Enterprise award and was named the Overall Best Specified Entity, marking a significant achievement for the institution.
The annual awards, organised by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), recognise the performance and excellence of state-owned enterprises and specified entities across the country.
Receiving the awards on behalf of the institution, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, Richard Nunekpeku, Esq., expressed appreciation to SIGA for acknowledging the Board’s performance.
“We are excited to receive this award and the third award of the night. On behalf of the Board, management and staff of the Ghana Gold Board, we wish to use the opportunity to thank SIGA for recognizing our performance over the years,” he said.
He reaffirmed GoldBod’s commitment to sustained excellence and continuous improvement, noting that the recognition would further inspire the institution to deliver on its mandate.
“We also want to remind all other companies, state agencies and enterprises that in as much as we have won this year’s award, we are not backing down; we are committed to growing and making sure that we achieve all the targets we set for ourselves in our performance contract with SIGA,” he added.
Mr. Nunekpeku further assured that the Board remains focused on maintaining its strong performance trajectory.
The recognition highlights GoldBod’s growing impact as a key state institution driving reforms in Ghana’s gold sector, with a focus on transparency, value retention, and sustainable resource management.
The Public Enterprises League Table Awards serve as a benchmark for assessing the performance of state institutions, promoting accountability, efficiency, and good corporate governance across the public sector.
