This becomes his first award from the scheme after joining Asaase Radio this year.

Speaking to The Spectator on the feat chalked, he said, “It’s nothing extraordinary. It’s simply hard work, smart work and staying consistent with the job. Many people don’t put in the works but want to be reward­ed for it. It doesn’t work that way.”

King Lagazee added that “it doesn’t mean my other colleagues aren’t or haven’t been working hard enough. The only difference is I step it up higher and better hence the recognition.”

He dedicated the award to his team, as well as unflinching listeners and promised them memorable times laced with captivating programmes ahead.
