The 2025 Enactus Ghana National Champions, Enactus KNUST, has been honoured by President John Dramani Mahama at a special ceremony held at the Jubilee House in Accra.
The recognition took place during the ceremonial Change of Guard Parade.
The team was accompanied by leaders from the Enactus Ghana Country Office and senior officials from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
President Mahama commended the team for their innovative work in using research and entrepreneurship to solve real problems in their communities.
He praised the Enactus Ghana programme for helping to shape future leaders and urged the students to remain committed to scalable, high-impact solutions that advance public health and environmental sustainability.
Also in attendance were Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, Minister for the Interior Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, Minister for Defence Dr. Omane Boamah, and other dignitaries and heads of security agencies.
The KNUST delegation was led by Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. David Asamoah, Provost of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Prof. Charles Marfo, Faculty Advisor Prof. Nathaniel Boso, and University Relations Officer Dr. Norris Bekoe.
During the private engagement, the student team presented their award-winning projects; PEELNOVA, SUNAWASH, and AGRIMAKE, which transform discarded orange and pineapple peels into organic, non-chemical mosquito repellents.
These projects tackle mosquito-borne illnesses while promoting sustainability and entrepreneurship.
The recognition comes ahead of the Enactus World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand, where Enactus KNUST will represent Ghana from September 25 to 28, competing against top student teams from across the world.
Enactus is a global network present in over 37 countries, dedicated to developing young leaders through entrepreneurial action. In Ghana, the programme has operated for over 25 years and currently engages students from more than 40 tertiary institutions, impacting over 50,000 youth.
