Former PMMC Managing Director Nana Akwasi Awuah has asserted that the company’s triple win at the 2024 SIGA PELT Awards is the result of reforms and restructuring initiatives he spearheaded during his time in office.
Reacting to the announcement by the State Interests and Governance Authority, Mr. Awuah said the recognition as Overall Best Specified Entity underscores the success of measures he implemented to reverse years of financial decline.
“We inherited a loss-making, debt-ridden company that was struggling to pay staff salaries,” he said.
“Together, under my leadership, we worked to turn around the fortunes of the company so that by the end of 2024, it had become highly profitable.”
He pointed out that consistent performance assessments by SIGA played a role in shaping the reforms, noting that he personally led engagements where feedback was received and acted upon.
“We took the feedback in good faith and resolved to do better,” he added, linking the company’s improved performance directly to those interventions.
Mr. Awuah maintained that the awards serve as validation of the transformation he led, urging current management to build on the foundation he established.
“These awards should be a source of motivation to continue growing the fortunes of the company,” he said.
