Bah, President of The Gambia Press Union (GPU) thanked the tailoring outfit for the initiative, saying journalists have been working hard continuously but only few recognise their effort.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that recognizing a colleague in the media is a motivation and thus urged Mr. Joof to continue with the good work. Dr Ismaila Ceesay, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Taranga FM said though everyone is working to serve \u2018your nation\u2019, but that being recognised in the process is also a plus and a push for one to do more.<\/p>\n<p>He urged journalists to focus on stories that would amplify and impact the lives of the minorities and the less-privileged. Receiving the award, Momodou Lamin Joof, who was overwhelmed with joy, said he was not doing his work to be recognised, instead to talk about issues that affect the society in the hopes of being solved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if I am recognised and awarded along the line, I am honored. I want to thank the management of Taranga FM for setting a policy that allows us to publish such stories.\u201d The Boxi Bombong Couture located in Latrikunda Sabiji, is also focused on recognizing the work of people in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
