Renowned sports administrator Herbert Mensah has been honored with the prestigious Order of the Volta for his transformative contributions to sports, philanthropy, and national development.
Mensah expressed that the award signifies recognition of collaborative efforts, particularly in advancing Ghana Rugby and initiating impactful humanitarian projects.
Reflecting on his leadership in sports and charity, he emphasized inclusivity and celebrating unsung heroes. He dedicated the honor to all who worked with him to inspire change and foster excellence in Ghana.
“For me, it is a clarion call to the rest of society that we need to get greater inputs, we have great people in Ghana who are often being suppressed by those with less talent; are better connected. If we can get them on board to change every aspect of our life, and then it is that they then get rewarded so other people can see that you don’t need to have money or be a big name or be involved with a political party in order to be recognized, then that will serve as greater inspiration,” he told Myjoyonline.com in an exclusive interview.
