The former Oman FM Senior Broadcast Journalist and Head of English Desk will now be heading MyNewsGH.com’s Business Desk while leveraging his years of experience in close collaboration with our international partners to oversee the commencement of MyNewsGH.com’s soon-to-takeoff MyNewsGH TV and Radio.
He joined EIB in September 2015 first as Producer of Starr Fm’s flagship morning show, the Morning Starr before moving to the Komla Dumor Newsroom where he joined the business desk anchoring business brief.

His experience and expertise in reporting in the shipping industry spans almost a decade having anchored the first specialised bulletin for the shipping industry in Ghana on radio dubbed ‘’Maritime and Port News’’ on Oman FM, a local radio station in Accra for almost 8 years.
He went further to establish the first and only newspaper in Ghana solely dedicated to reporting in the Maritime industry in July 2013 and has reported widely on various sectors of the industry locally and internationally.
His appreciation of issues relating to the industry makes him the reference point among his peers who usually require one clarification or the other on matters relating to the industry and is considered a worthy addition to MyNewsGH Brand.
