GUEST – George Asamani, MD, Project Management Institute, Sub-Saharan Africa



George Asamani, managing director Sub-Saharan Africa of Project Management Institute, has commended the impact and crucial role played by project managers across the globe in completing projects. He said this on the background of International Project Management Day celebrated yearly on November 2nd, 2023.

Asamani said, “Project managers play a crucial role in completing projects, including famous landmarks, yet they are not always as prominently recognised as architects, engineers, or designers. This is because, like superheroes, they leave the scene after saving the day.”
