The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has been adjudged State-Owned Enterprise of the Year at the prestigious Public Enterprises League Table (PELT) Awards, emerging as the overall top-performing state institution.
The Board also secured two additional honours—Most Profitable State-Owned Enterprise and Overall Best Specified Entity—further cementing its reputation as one of Ghana’s leading public sector organisations.
The PELT Awards, organised annually by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), recognise excellence, efficiency and strong corporate governance among state-owned enterprises and specified entities across the country.
Receiving the awards on behalf of GoldBod, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Richard Nunekpeku, Esq., expressed appreciation to SIGA for the recognition, describing it as a reflection of the institution’s consistent performance and dedication.
“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 thank SIGA for recognising our performance over the years,” he said.
He reaffirmed GoldBod’s commitment to maintaining high standards and delivering even greater results, noting that the recognition would serve as motivation to exceed future targets.
“In as much as we have won this year’s award, we are not backing down; we remain committed to growing and ensuring that we achieve all the targets outlined in our performance contract with SIGA,” he added.
Mr. Nunekpeku further assured that the Board will continue to build on its strong performance, focusing on delivering value and sustaining excellence.
The recognition highlights GoldBod’s growing influence in Ghana’s gold sector, particularly in promoting transparency, enhancing value retention and ensuring sustainable resource management.
The PELT Awards continue to serve as a benchmark for assessing the performance of public institutions while promoting accountability, operational efficiency and good governance practices across the sector.
