Ace sports journalist Dr. Ernest Koranteng broke down in tears when detailing how award-winning journalist Kwami Sefa Kayi gave him a platform to launch his journalism career.
According to Dr Koranteng, he was oblivious to his journalistic talent until he visited Kwame Sefa Kayi at his office at Mile, 7 in Accra about two decades ago.
Dr Ernest Koranteng who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer of BAC Group as a way of celebrating his mentor presented Sefa Kayi with a citation, thanking him for all the nurturing and advice that shaped his career.
“In 2002, you noticed a talent I didn’t even know I had, in an unusual manner when I visited you with my friend Ekow Bartels. We visited your Peace FM office at Mile 7 after your ‘Kokrooko’ Show. What was meant to be a conversation for our appearance on the TV Show ‘It takes 2’ became a congrid of who Ernest Koranteng will become”, the citation reads.
“You gave me a career and a livelihood that will shape my life journey. Today, August 24, on the occasion of my 40th birthday, I honour you for everything you did more than 20 years ago. Not forgetting the first fees you paid for at the Ghana Institute of Journalism in 2004. A key part of my educational journey to becoming Dr. Ernest Koranteng. Thank you KSK. I love you. Thank you”, it concluded.
He holds a Master of Business Administration Degree from the University of Ghana and a Bachelor of Communication Degree from the Ghana Institute of Journalism.
In 2021, Ernest Koranteng graduated with a Doctor of Business Administration Degree from the Toulouse Business School in France.
