The United Nations’ office in Ghana has issued a public disclaimer dissociating itself from the Blueprint Global Challenge Awards that has become a scandal hitting top Ghanaians celebrities and politicians in the past one week.
The awards ceremony organized by one Dr. Kwame Owusu Fourjour, now nicknamed Dr. UN of the Blueprint Mission was conferred on some top Ghanaians celebrities and politicians including Sakordia, Bella Mundi, Johnny Huge, NPP’s Chairman Wuntumi, The Vice Chancellor of University of Ghana, Deputy Health minister Dr. Oko Boys among others.
The organizers of the awards tagged it as coming from the United Nations and Kofi Annan Foundation of the late former UN Secretary General.
Few days after the award ceremony, it turns out that the much touted awards was fake.
Almost a week on, the UN office in Accra was forced to issue a public disclaimer.
Signed by Cynthia Prah, the Communications Officer of UN in Ghana, the statement said:
“The United Nations in Ghana wishes to state categorically that the United Nations (neither in Ghana or anywhere else) has no affiliation with the Blueprint Global Challenge Awards, nor with the organization (Blueprint Mission) or its personnel in any way, shape or form.
The UN advises that all genuine UN notices follow strict rules and procedures and are announced/published on UN websites. We advise the general public to access genuine information by visiting the relevant UN agencies’ websites or the UN Ghana website (https://ghana.un.org/en).
The UN in Ghana remains committed to working with the Government of Ghana and its people to deliver on its mandate to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and support Ghana attain its development objectives.”
