Speaking to at the ceremony, a Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Nii Lantey Vanderpuiye urged the young journalists to ensure that local content dominate the nation’s media landscape rather than foreign ones.
He also cautioned them to be circumspect in their reportage especially as the nation prepares for a major election in 2016 saying “they should think about what will keep this country together, the peace, stability and peace of our country more than anything else.
In all about 520 students graduated with either degree or diploma certificates in Journalism or Public Relations.
