Dr. Dzani who was one of the speakers at the night affirmed that the role of journalists in the country cannot be ignored as they play crucial role in nation building which can position the country positively to attract foreign investors.

“One of the ways to encourage them to come out with a well-researched and unbiased reportage, is to award their work as a way of supporting and motivating them hence our gesture.

“We are committed to supporting institutions such as the GJA to enhance the standard of excellence in journalistic reportage.Our media has served us well as a nation,” he added.  

He observed, “There will be no true democracy without a free and independent media.”

“However platforms like the GJA, allow us to reflect and review the role the media is playing in the advancement of our democracy and development. Ghana is highly regarded as an ideal of hope when it comes to democracy in Africa and cannot afford to lose its integrity. 

“There is the need therefore for every Ghanaian especially Journalists to ensure that Ghana improves upon its democratic badges which has gained recognition in both the local front and the international community.”
