The CEO and founder of Nguvu Mining Limited, Angela List, who is reputed as the most outstanding female mining entrepreneur in Africa, has once again been honoured with a citation for advancing education across the Nzema district.
In a video shared by Nzema Today, a citation featuring a photograph of Angela List was presented in recognition of her contributions.
Speaking in the video, a representative commended the Adamus CEO for her unwavering support for education and development, noting that her initiatives have positively impacted the lives of countless students.
He also praised Angela List for her generosity, visionary leadership, and commitment to empowering communities through education and scholarships to needy but brilliant students.
The man in the video speaking at the 3rd Edition of the Ellembelle Learner Assessment Test (ELAT) Excellence Awards 2026 stated, “Your support for education and development has positively impacted the lives of countless students and enhanced the learning environment across the district.
Through your generosity and visionary leadership, you have provided PolyTank to the Senior High School to improve access to save water and awarded scholarships to needy but brilliant students to enable them to pursue their future aspirations.

In related news, Angela List was also honoured by the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at a high-profile programme to mark 27 years of his enstoolment.
In a moment that celebrated both legacy and trailblazing excellence, the special recognition of Angela List stood as a powerful symbol of resilience, vision, and transformative leadership.
She received a commemorative gold coin award alongside President John Dramani Mahama, former Presidents JA Kufuor and Nana Akufo- Addo, former Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and the IGP, Christian Tetteh Yohuno for their varied contributions to national security and socio- economic advancement.
The event, which was held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, under the theme: Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development Through Royal Vision, had the Commonwealth Secretary General, Madam Ayorkor Botchwey, as the Special Guest of Honour.
Angela List dedicated the award to her more than 3,000 workers employed by Nguvu Mining Limited, a group of companies operating in Ghana, Niger, Mali and Liberia.
They include Adamus Resources Limited, Northern Ashanti Mining Company Limited, Segala Mining Corporation, Samira Hill Gold Mine and Poura Resources Limited.
Angela List acknowledged the formidable gender barrier in the male – dominated mining space, saying, “Nobody gives you an inch. But I’m committed to modelling the way for many women in Africa to become mining entrepreneurs.”
Her words echoed the courage of a pioneer determined not only to succeed but also to open doors for generations of women to follow.
Angela List was optimistic that “sooner than later, many female CEOs, engineers and other professionals would dazzle in the mining industry.
“The distinguished female mining investor disclosed that her companies have resolved to create more jobs and sharpen their focus on advancing the socio- economic development of the mining communities.
“We will achieve this goal by giving more scholarships, building more schools and clinics and empowering women traders with financial assistance.
“We are committed to changing the narrative in the mining industry by making a tangible difference in the lives of the people,“ Angela List added.
Last year, she won the 2025 Global Power Female Award, an exclusive honour for the most accomplished business women in the world.
Angela List, who has been in the mining industry for 25 years, is the first Ghanaian woman to win the award, which is designated as a tribute to trailblazers who have boldly reshaped the narrative of leadership, empowered communities and created enduring change.
The prestigious event, which was held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, featured Heads of State, 1st Ladies and global business leaders.
Angela List was later inducted into the Global Power Women’s Network, a premier platform of influence, capital and partnerships for women in the world.
