In a stirring address during the Ghana Journalist Association's (GJA) 75th-anniversary public lecture series held in Ho, revered Ghanaian journalist and columnist Cameron Doudu emphasised the critical importance of present actions in shaping a prosperous future.
Known for his insightful analysis and eloquent writing, Doudu delivered a speech that deeply resonated with the audience, inspiring them to take proactive steps today for a better tomorrow.
“To have a flourishing future, you must create it in the present,” Doudu declared, his words carrying the weight of decades of experience in journalism.
