at
the
public
lecture
scheduled
at
the
New
Ho
Municipal
Assembly
Hall
at
9:30am.
It
will
be
chaired
by
Rev

a

the
Ghana

with
the
Volta

and
members
of
the
general

It
will
be
telecast
live

The
theme
for
the
GJA
75th
Anniversary
is:
“75
years
of
excellence
in
journalism:
Honouring
the
past,
embracing
the
present
and
shaping
the
future”.
In
order
to
give
the
anniversary
a
national
character,
the
National
Executive
of
the
GJA
decided
to
take
the
public
lecture
to
the
regions,
with
the
Ashanti
Region
hosting
the
first
in
the
series
in
Kumasi
a
few
weeks
ago.
It
was
highly
successful,
and
the
regional
leadership
of
the
GJA
and
other
participants
applauded
the
National
Executive
for
organising
a
GJA
national
event
for
the
first
time
in
Kumasi.
We
expect
that
the
second
public
lecture
in
Ho
will
follow
the
norm
of
success
established
in
Kumasi.
