Ashfoam, a leading manufacturer of mattresses and home furnishings, has presented awards to winners at the 29th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Media Awards.
In a bid to redeem sponsorship pledges to support the awards, the company last Thursday presented products to the award winners at an impressive ceremony held at the company’s headquarters in North Kaneshie, Accra.
Winners in categories such as education, environmental reporting, and health — which was won by Ms Abigail Annoh of The Ghanaian Times — were presented with products of the company, including Adinkra L-shape sofa couches and Queen-size “Jigijigi” mattresses.
Other notable winners were Godwin Asediba, Journalist of the Year, and Clinton Yeboah, Best Student Journalist of the Year.
At the event, officials of the company, which was established in 1976, emphasised that their partnership with the GJA reflects respect for the vital role journalists play in national development.
“We acknowledge the immense contribution of journalists to society in health, environment, business, and governance. Your platforms project businesses and ideas to the world, and that is why we have made it a key part of our operations to partner with you,” management stated.
Miss Taline D. Majdoub, Head of Showroom and After Sales Department, echoed this commitment, noting that Ashfoam was proud to recognise the tireless efforts of journalists while promoting ethical business practices.
The GJA President, Mr Kwabena Dwumfour, lauded Ashfoam’s renewed commitment, describing the gesture as a boost to the association’s mission of recognising excellence in journalism.
He also urged journalists to expose fake and harmful products on the market, reinforcing the profession’s role in protecting consumers and promoting accountability.
Both institutions pledged to continue to work together to promote media excellence, encourage transparency, and ensure journalists were well supported in carrying out their duties.
Over 20 structures built within the 50-metre buffer zone of the Kpeshie Lagoon at the Laboma Beach Resort in the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality were on Sunday demolished by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC).
Buildings such as single-unit semi-detached under construction and completed chalets at the resort were pulled down while portions of a newly constructed perimeter wall were also demolished. Read More

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
