In 2018, Amanua received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, now Telecel Ghana Music Awards.

"I’m sad! A woman I’m humbled to call Mother. One of God’s gifts to Ghana and the world. The first woman to join the legendary group, Wulomei. Naa Amanua has taken a bow…Rest Well Ma!"
Dzifa Gomashie also reflected on her relationship with the late legend, saying,
"I remember the night we (you, Gladys Gladys and I) honoured her and a few others at the FEMALE LEGENDS AWARDS NIGHT at Alisa Hotel. She calls me often to check on me and brief me about her encounters. A great woman goes home. My heart is broken."
