The Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD) has emerged as the overall winner at the prestigious Public Enterprises League Table (PELT) Awards, securing the coveted title of State-Owned Enterprise of the Year.

In a remarkable showing, GoldBod also clinched the award for Most Profitable State-Owned Enterprise and was named Overall Best Specified Entity, underscoring its strong performance and growing influence within Ghana’s public sector.

The annual awards, organised by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), celebrate excellence and assess the performance of state-owned enterprises and specified entities across the country.

Receiving the awards on behalf of the institution, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nunekpeku, expressed gratitude to SIGA for the recognition.

“We are excited to receive this award — the third for the night. On behalf of the Board, management, and staff of the Ghana Gold Board, we thank SIGA for acknowledging our performance over the years,” he said.

He reaffirmed GOLDBOD’s commitment to sustained excellence and continuous improvement, noting that the recognition would further motivate the institution to deliver on its mandate.

“We also want to remind other companies, state agencies, and enterprises that although we have won this year’s award, we are not backing down. We remain committed to growth and to achieving all the targets set in our performance contract with SIGA,” he added.

Mr Nunekpeku further assured that the Board will maintain its strong performance trajectory while deepening reforms in Ghana’s gold sector.

The recognition highlights GOLDBOD’s growing impact as a key state institution driving reforms focused on transparency, value retention, and sustainable resource management.

The PELT Awards continue to serve as a benchmark for evaluating the performance of state institutions, while promoting accountability, efficiency, and good corporate governance across the public sector.
