The 6th edition of the Ghana Minister of the Year (MOTY) Awards is set to take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at the La Palm Beach Convention Centre in Accra.
The annual event, which has become one of the country’s notable governance recognition platforms, seeks to honour Ministers of State whose performance and policy delivery made significant impact within the past year.
Organisers say this year’s awards come at a time when government institutions are under increasing public scrutiny over economic recovery efforts, sector reforms, and service delivery.
Six ministers have been shortlisted for the ultimate Minister of the Year 2025 award after what organisers describe as months of public nominations, stakeholder consultations, and performance assessments.
The nominees are:
Eric Opoku, Minister for Food and Agriculture
Cassiel Ato Forson, Minister for Finance
Haruna Iddrisu, Minister for Education
Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister for Foreign Affairs
Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister for Trade, Industry and Agribusiness
All six ministers are expected to receive recognition on the night, with one eventually emerging as the overall Minister of the Year 2025.

According to organisers, the awards are aimed at promoting accountability and excellence in public service by recognising ministers whose policies and leadership contributed positively to national development.
The event is expected to attract government officials, diplomats, private sector players, civil society organisations, and members of the media.
The ceremony will begin at 6:00pm at the La Palm Beach Convention Centre in Accra.
The awards scheme is powered by Big Events Ghana.

Is McBrown Responding to MzGee? Viral Video Sparks Online Debate
A recent viral video of Nana Ama McBrown has set social media abuzz, with many wondering if the actress and media personality, fondly called “Her Excellency McBrown,” was sending a subtle message to broadcaster MzGee.
The clip shows McBrown singing and laughing with actress Emelia Brobbey. Brobbey is seated on a sofa, laughing uncontrollably, while McBrown faces the camera, smiling and singing cheerfully. But it was the song’s lyrics that caught people’s attention and fueled speculation online.
The lyrics say:
“Do what you can do and leave the rest. Understand people. If you don’t understand human nature, you’ll be like a crab. Whatever you do will not please them. Understand human nature. Even God does not understand humans, so how can you understand humans?”
The timing of the video has sparked debate. Many netizens believe McBrown was responding to MzGee’s recent emotional remarks about her stint on United Showbiz.
The Background
MzGee went viral after an interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo Welewele, where she opened up about the intense backlash she faced after taking over United Showbiz from McBrown. She said the criticism became especially harsh because she was stepping into McBrown’s shoes as host of the UTV entertainment show.
MzGee also revealed that she had expected McBrown to publicly defend her while viewers and fans criticized the transition.
McBrown hosted United Showbiz on UTV under Despite Media Group before exiting for Media Generale. She now hosts Onua Showtime with McBrown on Onua TV. After her departure, MzGee became the face of United Showbiz, a change that triggered widespread debate and constant comparisons between the two presenters.
Mixed Reactions Online
McBrown has not directly addressed MzGee’s comments. Yet the viral video and its lyrics have reignited conversations online. Some social media users think the song was a pointed message about criticism and public perception. Others argue it was just a lighthearted moment between two colleagues, with no hidden meaning.
For now, McBrown has stayed silent on the speculation, leaving netizens divided over whether the video was a subtle response or simply a fun moment caught on camera.
Meanwhile, followers in the comment section have already formed their opinion that the song is a shade thrown at MzGee. Check out some of the comments below:
