Chief Executives Congratulate Sheikh I.C. Quaye

District, municipal and metropolitan chief executives in the Greater Accra Region have congratulated the Regional Minister, Sheikh I.C. Quaye, on the conferment of a landmark achievement of excellence on him. The Society for the Study of History and International Studies of the Lagos State University in Nigeria in February conferred the award on the regional minister. The society recognised that from 1969 till now Sheikh Quaye’s family had contributed and sacrificed a lot towards the entrenchment of democracy and civil liberty in Ghana. The Ga West Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Eric Busby Quartey-Papafio, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, noted that the award had confirmed that the regional minister’s political achievements cut across the country’s borders. “The history of the Danquah-Busia’s tradition will be incomplete without a recognition of the role played by the regional minister’s family,” he said. He said the entire membership of the NPP in the region, chiefs and Ghanaians in general were proud of Sheikh Quaye’s political achievements, adding that it was significant that he had not relented in his efforts to ensure the total development of the Greater Accra Region in particular and the country in general. Mr Quartey-Papafio commended the society for recognising the hardworking regional minister during his life time and expressed the hope that the award would encourage him to still work hard.
