The host of the Citi Breakfast Show, and Director of News Programming Bernard Koku Avle has been awarded by the Student Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Ghana for his contribution towards national development through his work.
On Thursday, representatives of the SRC presented the “University of Ghana Excellence award” to Mr Avle in the studios of Citi FM at Adabraka.

“We looked through the media and saw that Bernard Avle is an influential person. As an alumni too, most people look up to him because of his achievements.”
Mr Dugbater also noted that the award is aimed at honouring people who have excelled in all phases of their careers- entrepreneurs, students and lecturers.
He called on students to aim high and look up to role models so they can also contribute to national development.
