It was unveiled on Wednesday on the Accra Aca campus by ex-President Jerry John Rawlings on behalf of the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The board of governors of Accra Aca have therefore conferred on Gyan the highest award of the school in recognition of his great contribution to giving back to the school.

The board chairman in delivering his speech before handing a citation to Asamoah Gyan said that the Order of the Platinum is mostly awarded to great men of the school following their death but the board of governors who are overwhelmed by the 31-year-old’s astro-turf pitch on the school have broken protocol to pave way for the Black Stars skipper to be honoured.
Asamoah Gyan graduated from Accra Academy Senior High School in 2002.
He has played at three different FIFA World Cup Cups, 2006, 2010 and 2014.
