The 2021 edition of the awards was held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on July 17, 2021 and it was chaired by the overlord of the Asante kingdom Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

The ceremony had President Akufo-Addo and other notable government appointees in attendance. The Millennium Excellence Awards is organized every five years to honor institutions and individuals for their contributions to national development.

According to Mukesh Thakwani, the promotion of products made in Ghana will help in stimulating the country’s economy and make living less stressful for Ghanaians. He urged the government to invest in Ghanaian businesses to help in the production of made-in goods which will also have a positive impact on the economy through exportation.

For made-in Ghana products to have a higher purchase on the market, Mr. Thakwani believes the Ghana Standard Authority, Food and Drugs Authority and the various bodies must ensure that there is no cheaper product on the market to sustain industries in the country. He also pleaded with government to help in ensuring free movement of goods across Ecowas countries.
