Sitting beside His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, at the royal banquet to celebrate journalists during the 29th GJA Media Excellence Awards in Kumasi was, for me, a moment of profound honour and humility.
It was more than just a seat at a royal table – it was a symbol of recognition for the tireless work journalists continue to do in advancing truth, accountability, and national development.

As Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Ghana Journalists Association, I saw this as not merely a personal privilege but an affirmation of the collective efforts of journalists in the region. It underscored the respect our noble profession commands when we uphold integrity and professionalism.
Sharing that space with the Asantehene reminded me of the deep relationship between traditional authority and the media—two institutions that shape society through influence, wisdom, and service. His Majesty’s gracious presence and inspiring words reinforced my conviction that the media must remain a force for unity, development, and positive change.
The 29th GJA Awards in Kumasi marked a milestone, not only for the Association but for the entire region. Hosting this national event in the Ashanti capital reflects the growing recognition of our media’s strength, vibrancy, and leadership.
I consider the experience a stamp of honour on our collective journey to elevate journalism in Ashanti and beyond. It fuels my resolve to continue leading with purpose, empowering colleagues, and championing ethical and impactful storytelling that drives Ghana forward.
