Dear Editor in Chief,
It was hard for me to believe on walking into African Voice HQ six years ago, that the two-room premises run by skeletal staff was responsible for putting out content week after week without fail. I was a postgraduate journalism student with Harlow College and needed a place to do my internship. Right from the first week, I was thrown in the deep end – chasing leads and researching stories. But I was also given free rein to use my initiative, introduced to interesting interviewees who I might not have otherwise met, and encouraged to be creative and discerning with topics I wanted to pursue. And the result – countless by-lines and a few front page articles meant that I was more than prepared for my future position with the BBC. For this, I remain grateful.
A dozen gbosas for you and your team on this unique achievement.
I wish you greater success as you continue to dazzle and shine in a competitive environment. Ire ni o.
