Kind words from our esteemed attendees and partners

I commend the organisers for the brilliance of this initiative. I have been a keen follower of the activities of GUBA and I must say it has done a good job especially in helping to consolidate the economic, social and tourism needs between the UK and Ghana. We should all stand ready to support GUBA.

I am delighted to be able to congratulate GUBA for carrying the torch of the meridian link between the Royal Borough of Greenwich and Tema. GUBA is the future of this historical relationship, and the diversity of the awards reflects the wonderful theme of zero degrees of separation. Congratulations Ghana! Congratulations GUBA!
