Koforidua (E/R), April 4, GNA - Mr Maxwell Kudekor, Eastern Regional Branch Secretary of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA), has called on tertiary institutions to offer sponsorship to journalists interested in studying Technology and Innovation related courses.
He said this would help to train committed journalists in promoting technical education in the country.
He said as it is the goal of Ghana to become the industrial hub of Africa, it would be prudent to produce more journalists who are technologically inclined.
Mr Kudekor said this at a press soiree organised by the Koforidua Technical University (KTU) to foster solidarity between the University and the media at Koforidua.
He said in other jurisdictions there are journalists specialised in various fields and this enhances the promotion of such interests.
Mr Kudekor said currently the GJA is collaborating with the Knutsford University in Accra where 50 journalists are being sponsored annually to pursue Masters programme in Leadership and Governance and called on other universities to emulate such laudable idea.
Reverend Dr Sam Okae-Adjei, Director for Institute of Open and Distance Learning (IODL) at the Koforidua Technical University, said the University will soon open distance learning campuses at Nkawkaw, Somanya and Akim Oda to enable those interested in technical tertiary education have easy access.
