The third Ghana Chieftaincy Awards and Royal Investment Summit initially scheduled for October3-5, 2025 has been pushed to May 8–9, 2026.
The event, which celebrates the enduring role of chiefs and traditional rulers in national development, will still be held at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
Also, all previously confirmed invitations and partnerships remain valid.
According to a statement issued by organisers of the event, Obokese Foundation and the Black Star Experience Secretariat, the decision was reached after wide consultations with traditional leaders, government officials, development partners and international collaborators.
The new dates, they explained, would allow for broader participation, stronger partnerships and improved preparations which will give the event the global attention it deserves.
Since its launch in 2021, Ghana Chieftaincy Awards has steadily grown into a platform celebrating innovation, resilience and contributions of chiefs, queen mothers and other traditional authorities.
The awards also entered a groundbreaking partnership with the Black Star Experience to bring a fresh cultural shine and a stronger link with the African diaspora.
