Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vodafone Ghana, Patricia Obo-Nai has won Africa’s Most Respected CEO in the Telecommunications category at the Africa Most Respected CEO Awards, held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The awards celebrated CEOs and senior public officers from Botswana, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania in various categories such as agro-processing, automobile franchise sales, ICT, tourism, leisure and recreation, private security services, health, insurance, telecommunications, media, pharmaceuticals, aviation, among others.

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Mr. Surrender Singh Kandhari, the chairman of Al Dobowi Group, and African Chamber for Trade United Arab Emirates, said: ‘’The awards are aimed at bringing together business captains, public sector officials and investors in Africa who deserve recognition for accomplishments in their respective areas of endeavor in the COVID-challenged emerging African corporate ecosystem.’’

Patricia’s contribution to the telecommunications industry is unquestionable. In addition to championing various innovations in the industry, she is celebrated for her outstanding leadership during the heights of the pandemic. Under her leadership, Vodafone Ghana introduced remarkable initiatives as part of a comprehensive relief package for Ghanaians.

She is a fierce advocate for technology and continues to emphasize the need for Africa to leverage technological advancement to drive sustainable development and secure its participation in the digital economy. Patricia reinforced this in her recent OpEd titled 'Connecting Africa is the Seminal Challenge of our Time’, she said: ‘’To expedite Africa’s economic recovery post-pandemic, the continent must accelerate digitalisation and expand regional cooperation.’’ She also called on governments, industry players and businesses to join Vodafone as it embarks on this campaign.

Patricia is also known for her strong passion for gender issues and interventions that offers economic opportunities to women. Whilst speaking during the United Nations General Assembly last year, she made a call for an urgent solution to end maternal mortality across sub-Saharan Africa, describing it as unacceptable in this age. She also joined other female giants last year at the G7 Partnership on Women’s Digital Financial Inclusion in Africa’s event to deliberate on Catalyzing Digital Financial Services for Women Across Africa.

The Mobile Magazine describes her as the ‘First lady of Mobile’. She has also won several awards including the CEO of the Year at the Ghana Information Technology and Telecommunications Awards (GITTA) as well as the Women Leadership Excellence Awards at the CEO’s Summit and Awards.

The Africa’s Most Respected CEOs Awards was held under the theme: ‘The Role of the African Corporate Pace-setters in Maximizing the Opportunities Offered by the AfCFTA.’ The awardees are first selected by public voting for nominees in each category. The awards event was organized by The Business Executive Ltd., an events and media company based in Accra, Ghana.
