45th SWAG Awards: Beauty, simplicity and innovation

The 45th MTN SWAG Awards was held on Saturday at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, coupled with beauty, simplicity and innovation.

The 1-hour television produced event was aptly simple as only 10 categories of the 2019 sports performers mounted the podium to receive their respective awards.

The other 17 earlier in the month were at special events decorated with their awards and citations which received heavy media mileage.

Top guests at the event included Supreme Court Judge Justice Tanko Amadu who represented the Chief Justice, Sports Minister Isaac Kwame Asiamah, CEO of MTN Mr. Selorm Adadevor, CEO of Ghana Gas Dr. B J Asante, Chief Patron H. E Amarkai Armarteyfio, top officials from Exim Bank, Goil and Startimes TV.
