BA Minister Visits Daily Guide

As part of measures to establish rapport with the media, the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo, on Thursday toured some media houses in the regional capital, Sunyani to interact with staff of the various media houses.

In an interaction with staff of Western Publications Limited, publishers of DAILY GUIDE, News One, Business Guide and Guide Young Blazers, the Minister assured the workers that his outfit would welcome every media house in the region.
“Regional Coordinating Council programmes are not limited to any media house,” he added.
The Minister disclosed that he would visit the media houses regularly to interact with staff to encourage them to give off their best for the country.
Mr. Aidoo, who was accompanied on the tour by his Deputy, Justice Samuel Adjei, PRO, Augusta Offeibea Tettey and other officials of the RCC, said he would forward the demands of the paper for adverts to the Municipal and Districts Assemblies (MDAs) in the region.
The Minister spoke highly of the late Mark Sam Essien, former Western Regional Editor of DAILY GUIDE, stating that he would really miss him.
He encouraged the staff to work with government to develop the country.
The Brong Ahafo Regional Bureau Chief of DAILY GUIDE, Fred Tettey Amoako, congratulated the Minister for interacting with the media in the region.
He mentioned that though the paper was doing well in the country, it faces challenges such as the lack of adverts from government agencies.
According to him, adverts help the paper to grow and pleaded with the Minister to encourage district assemblies in the region to channel some of their adverts to the paper and not only the state-owned newspapers.
