The CEO of I-ZAR Group, Madam Rashida Saani Nasamu, has been crowned with the 40 Under 40 Alumni Achievement Award.

The accolade aims to acknowledge alumni of the awards scheme who have continually excelled in business.

At the 5th anniversary of the 40 Under 40 Awards, Rashida was set apart as an epitome of a young entrepreneur to encourage the youth.

Madam Rashida was one of five to receive the highly coveted award presented at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra on Friday, 9 October 2019.

The businesswoman had consistently soared above distinction since 2019 when she swept prizes at the programme and was ultimately crowned with the First Among Equals Award.

The 40 Under 40 Awards is dedicated to rewarding the country’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under age 40, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence, and community service.
