At the 26th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards Night, which was hosted at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra, she was presented with the honour.

As she accepted her award, she paid eloquent tribute to Ghana’s journalists who had set the bar high, particularly the journalist she worked with.
