GoldBod Jewellery Limited, a subsidiary of the Ghana Gold Board, has clarified that it did not sponsor the 2026 Women of Valour event, held on March 7 at the London Hilton on Park Lane in the United Kingdom.
The clarification follows a photograph circulating online showing GoldBod listed as one of the event’s partners, which sparked questions on social media about why a state-linked institution would support a private program outside Ghana.
In a statement shared on X, the company explained that its involvement was limited. GoldBod Jewellery said it only offered promotional discounts on jewelry purchases for participants as part of its Ghana Heritage Month promotions and did not provide any direct financial support for the event.
In what appeared to be a sarcastic comment on social media, Nana Aba Anamoah, the founder of Women of Valour, thanked people for the widespread discussions around the program. She said, “Thank you so much for discussing my event widely. I love free publicity. Thank you.”
Founded by Ghanaian broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah, Women of Valour brings together women from diverse professional backgrounds to network, share insights, and celebrate achievements. The 2026 edition was held just ahead of International Women’s Day, offering a platform for discussions on women’s leadership and empowerment.
