Member of Parliament for Navrongo Central, Simon Akibange Aworigo, has supported the 5th Upper East Regional Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards.
The MP is sponsoring the Child Protection reporting category of the awards and has urged journalists to uphold professionalism and courage in the discharge of their duties.
Mr Aworigo challenged journalists to focus their lenses on human-centred issues, particularly those affecting women and children in society.
He described journalists in the region as professionals and assured them of his continued collaboration with the media to contribute to the development of the Upper East Region.
Upper East Regional GJA Chairman, Albert Sore, thanked the MP for the support.
“We are grateful for their sponsorship for the Child Protection reporting category and hope that our partnership grows even stronger,” he said.
Mr Sore also appealed to more individuals, businesses and institutions to support the awards and help make the 5th Upper East Regional GJA Awards a success.
The 5th edition of the awards is scheduled for October 2, 2026, under the theme “Beyond the Headlines: The Media’s Role in Promoting WASH for Safe Motherhood and Quality Healthcare.”
The theme is intended to encourage journalists to go beyond routine reporting to investigate water, sanitation and hygiene challenges affecting healthcare facilities, particularly their impact on safe motherhood and quality healthcare.
