Ghanaian-British entrepreneur and founder of Achievements-based awards GUBA Awards Dentaa Amoateng MBE says she is humbled to have been honored with a diplomatic passport by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
On Wednesday, 17 September 2025, at the media launch of the Diaspora Summit, Foreign Affairs Minister Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa granted Dentaa Amoateng alongside some truly inspiring Ghanaians including WodeMaya, Rocky Dawuni, Anita Erskine, and Ibrahim Mahama diplomatic passports.
The diplomatic passports are part of a targeted strategy to expand Ghana’s diplomatic arsenal by giving prominent cultural ambassadors the authority to promote trade, tourism, cultural interaction, and Ghana’s soft-power interests overseas, according to the information provided. Ghana’s image and access in important markets are meant to be enhanced by the awardees’ combined profiles, which include digital reach, artistic renown, broadcast influence, cultural entrepreneurship, and worldwide networks.
In an Instagram post, the GUBA Awards Founder reacting to the honour said ”This recognition means so much to me. It reflects the work we’ve been doing for over 20 years to showcase Ghana, connect Africa and its diaspora with the world, and create opportunities for collaboration and growth. The diaspora plays a vital role in nation-building, and this milestone reminds me how powerful we can be when we come together to invest, innovate, and tell our own stories.”
She added ”Thank you to everyone who continues to support this journey and the many partners and friends who believe in our mission. Let’s keep telling our story and building bridges that uplift Africa.
My heartfelt thank you to Hon. Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa for this recognition.”
