Making the presentation on Thursday to the National Executives of the GJA in Accra, Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Financial Services and Ideal Groupe, Dr. Nii Kortei Dzani, said the gesture was part of his outfit’s corporate social responsibility.
He said he was hopeful that the initiative will encourage journalists and the media to pursue excellence and hard work.
