Daniel Ananey-Obiri, a graduate from the University of Ghana, is the proud recipient of the Accra Brewery Limited prize for Best Student in Food Process Engineering award for the academic year, sponsored by Accra Brewery Limited (ABL).

Mr. Ananey-Obiri received a new high-performance laptop and cash of GHC 5,000 at the Vice Chancellor’s Academic Awards ceremony at the university’s Great Hall. ABL has been an annual sponsor of this award since 2007, recognizing top academic excellence in food processing.

The ceremony attracted 67 individual sponsors and 42 corporate sponsors, but it was ABL’s package that generated exceptional excitement when the presentation was made before academic peers and university leadership.

Speaking after receiving his award, Mr. Ananey-Obiri expressed profound gratitude to ABL: 'I am exceedingly grateful to ABL for this award. This recognition motivates me to pursue further specialized research in food engineering unit operations and automation.'

He encouraged ongoing students to remain diligent in their studies: 'Focus on understanding the engineering fundamentals taught in our laboratories, because industry recognizes and rewards dedication.'

ABL's partnership with the Department of Food Process Engineering underscores its commitment to technical human capital development and industrial brewing talent in West Africa.
