The CEO of ASKOF Productions Mrs Afua Asantewaa Aduonum said on her arrival from the host city, Abidjan after a week of a recce mission " The prospects look bright, Abidjan can't wait to host the event. My team and l have done what we need to do to deliver a top-notch event during our recent visit. We struck all partnership deals and met with stakeholders to ensure a successful ceremony."

She added " We are leaving no stone unturned, that is to say we- my team and I are going to the drawing board to strategize to make it epochal.

"So, all that one has to do is to nominate any African woman impacting lives in her community or her field of endeavour."
The scheme primarily seeks to celebrate and honour women who are touching lives in diverse ways and impacting communities.
