Described as the first and most prestigious honours held, the Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours appreciated the efforts of Ministers of State for their sterling performances in the course of their duties for Mother Ghana.

The fifteen honorees were presented with beautiful citations and a crystal plaque.

Organizers of the scheme believe the honorary is a step in the right direction since there is no institution that recognizes and respects Ministers of State who have served the State diligently.
