Two children of media personnel have emerged winners of the Stratcomm Africa “Read it, Write it, Say it Better Competition – kids of media maiden edition.”
Master Adom Adu-Gyasi, 10, son of Dennis Adu-Gyasi, a freelancer and Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists, and Master Darrel Nortey Dowuona, 12, son of Samuel Dowuona formerly of Adom FM online, won cash prizes with stationery and ‘T’ shirts for emerging winners in a stiffer competition.
Stratcomm Africa designed this edition of the Read it, Write it, Say it Better Competition for children of media personnel to promote reading and writing among them, especially during this time that children are spending an extended period out of school due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The participants were required to read a book, answer questions on the book they have read out of which the best would win prizes.
Read it, Write it, Say it Better is a Stratcomm Africa initiative aimed at helping children to develop their communication skills through reading and writing.
Parents of the two writers expressed excitement about their wards success in the competition and thanked Stratcomm Africa for organising the competition, and described the activity as extremely beneficial.
Mrs Shula Glymin, an accomplished educationist, who was the judge of the competition had this to say, “It was such a delight working on this activity as I came to appreciate once again the amazing talents Ghana is blessed with.
Mr Bernard Nii Addotey Allotey, Media and Stakeholder Relations Lead at Stratcomm Africa, said the competition was Stratcomm Africa’s way of showing appreciation to the media for their contribution in this difficult time.
According to him, “Excellence is Stratcomm Africa’s hallmark and we are always delighted to see people excel. We are very proud of these children who did excellent work.
For Stratcomm Africa, reading and writing help to develop creativity, analytical thinking and effective communications skills.
Entries for the next competition would be opened soon where children of media personnel and health workers aged between five and 13 qualify to participate.
Stratcomm Africa established Read it, Write it, Say it Better (RWS) in 2015 as a corporate social responsibility designed to contribute to national development and livelihood enhancement.
Read it, Write it, Say it Better (RWS) employs innovative approaches to market reading and writing to children and their parents, not just as a school subject but as a livelihood enhancement activity.
President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
