“We at e.TV Ghana will continue to encourage individuals to be selfless in their efforts to make this country a better place. When we started the awards the public seemed more concerned about nominating people who are in the frontline and see  a lot in the media but as the awards have grown, we notice that  the nominations have varied and the level of influence people allude to have also been a lot pronounced. You will notice for example that some of the mname we have here are not exactly the type we hear of in mainstream media ,” Agyeman said.
