Magnus Lincoln Quarshie said: “Many Engineers and Non-Engineers professionals working in both the public and private sectors of Ghana continue to play an important role in shaping our environment and promoting sustainable development.
These professionals need to be appreciated for their efforts and contributions in maintaining the integrity of good engineering practice amidst competing development interest and challenging situations. It’s against this backdrop that the Ghana Institution of Engineers has instituted this award ceremony to reward deserving Engineers”.
“Nomination forms have been extensively advertised for individuals and corporate bodies to enter their nomination for the categories of Academic Research Awards; Young Engineers Award; Public Sector Awards; Private Sector Awards; External/Associate Awards; Media Awards and ICT Infrastructure Awards”, the message added.
