And the best driver of the month award goes to……Daniel Awutey !
For the second month running, the management of INSTINCT Media Ghana kept its commitment to the Best Rider of the month award, with Daniel Awutey, a resident of Dzenyena and substantive rider of Trike number one (1) being adjudged the Best Rider for the month of March !
At the award presentation ceremony held at the Trikademik Storage facility in Kodzeto on Tuesday 20th April, and attended by all twelve riders including reserve riders, the chief of Kodzeto; Togbe Gabriel Amekudzi, the Instinct Technical Manager in Hohoe; Winfred Akakpo, Gabriel Amekudzi the Team Leader, and a few members of the Kodzeto village, Daniel Awutey was presented with his award of a nicely framed photograph of himself and the cash prize of GHC5.00 amidst applause and expressions of commendation from colleague riders. This was after Ernest Teye-Topey, the Trikademik Project Manager had made a little reference to last month’s ceremony and winner, the criteria which remains unchanged, the fact that a particular rider can actually win the award more than once and even for consecutive months if only he genuinely deserves it, and finally taken those in attendance through the list of achievements that won Daniel the award. It certainly must have taken Daniel by surprise when his name was mentioned, although he has been working hard consistently, and his wide-opened mouth at the mention of his name betrayed his pleasant surprise. He was clearly quite excited but not alone in that, as virtually all his colleagues acknowledged his award with a loud applause and comments tantamount to congratulating him on his achievement.

Daniel Awutey was adjudged the Best Rider on the basis of the following :
-His great commitment and passion for the project. His consistently increasing sales since the start of the project.
-His great team work spirit, his commendable coordination and leadership efforts in the area of information dissemination and offering assistance readily where needed.
-His regular reporting for maintenance and servicing His consistent punctuality and regularity to work throughout March His very good relationship with all of the children assigned to him for the free school transport, and sent each of them to school every school day of the month, and his and his generally good behavior.
Daniel was simply lost for words when it was time to give his acceptance speech, but at least expressed his deep appreciation for the award and said it was a good feeling for one to have his contribution and efforts recognized and rewarded. The Trikademik Project Manager encouraged all the riders that any of them could be the winner anytime, and that it all depended on their commitment, hardwork and compliance with the project rules and regulations. The winner has been given a printed copy of his framed photograph, with the framed one hanging in the storage facility till the next winner is declared.
It is also worth mentioning that Yevu Joseph Gameli, the first winner of the award, has been motivated enough to go to the extent of having a special Zain shirt made for him at his own expense and using it alongside the Zain T-shirt supplied them as working uniform, as can be seen in the picture below;
Well done to Daniel and to Yevu
