Groupe Ideal is supporting the Ghana Journalist Association to better organise this year's GJA awards.
The company is doing this by giving two vehicles to the GJA for the best journalist.
“We are passionate about accurate reportage since it may make or unmake a nation and so as a source of motivation we decided to provide cars for this year's awards.'' CEO of Ideal Groupe, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani made this statement when he presented the vehicles to the leadership of the GJA.
The 21st GJA Awards will be held the State Banquet Hall on August 27, 2016.
The two cars will be presented to the overall best journalist and the winner of the Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani Special Award respectively.
The Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani Award will be given to the Best Financial Reporter of the year.
Dr. Dzani believes that most of the problems facing Ghaa's financial sector is due to bad publicity and reportage.
Speaking to the press after the presentation, CEO of Groupe Ideal, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani said, “we are committed to supporting institutions such as the GJA to encourage and motivate excellence in journalistic reportage as we sell Ghana to the world.”
The Group Head, Corporate Communications and Strategy, Ekow Blankson, also said “we appreciate journalism and our journalists in the country. Our journalists need the right tool to aid their work. We see them hustling for transport often after programmes. One of the ways to encourage them to come out with a well-researched and unbiased reportage is to award good work with a vehicle, hence the gesture.”
Responding to the historical presentation, President of GJA, Mr. Affail Monney expressed appreciation for the gesture.
“We are happy to have these prices to award the journalists who performed well in 2015. Though healthy, I believe the competition will be keen in 2016. It will strengthen and motivate the various works of our journalist,” Affail Monney added.
Groupe Ideal became the headline sponsor of the 20th GJA Awards. The firm has taken a notch further to become the title sponsor again this year.
