Legal luminary, Sam Okudzeto has urged young journalists to emulate the exemplary life of the late Komla Afeke Dumor, presenter of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) flagship programme, Focus on Africa.

He said Komla, by virtue of his achievements at the BBC, had become the standard-bearer in journalism, adding that “he had set a very high standard and young Ghanaian journalists must emulate his example”.

Mr Okudzeto gave the advice after the funeral of the late Komla at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

He said Komla went about his work professionally with all humility and commitment without insulting anyone, saying; “likewise you can do your work as a journalist without insulting anyone”.

The legal luminary noted that Komla’s exemplary talents, humility and achievements were something that young people in Africa should aim at adding “we all need to be humble”.

 Mr Okudzeto said as Ghanaians we were proud to have one of our own excel to such a great height.

  Komla Dumor died on January 18, in London. He was 41years and survived by a wife and three children.
