Ms. Lawson \u2013 who has worked with Western Publications Limited, publishers of Ghana\u2019s number one privately-owned newspaper, Daily Guide \u2013 graduated over the weekend with an Master of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy.<\/p>\n

The graduation ceremony took place at the SALT Institute City Campus, New Achimota in Accra on Saturday, November 25, 2023.<\/p>\n

Gifty Lawson has worked as a photojournalist for several years, covering both Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo. Ms. Lawson is highly proficient in telling compelling stories through images that evoke emotion and engagement. Adept at working in diverse environments and adapting to various subjects, she is passionate about documenting the world\u2019s complexities, from human interest to social issues, with an unwavering commitment to truth and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Ms. Lawson is a graduate of Wisconsin International University College where she pursued an undergraduate degree in Human Resource Management. But her strong commitment and dedication to promoting global justice, equality, peace, and human rights led her to pursuing a Master\u2019s Degree In International Relations and Diplomacy.<\/p>\n

Her dream is to collaborate with organizations like the United Nations, and NGOs to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights and as well advocate for policies that better respond to humanitarian crisis, Refugee rights, and gender equality.<\/p>\n

*About the 2nd graduation*<\/p>\n

Delivering a welcome address during the short but colorful graduation ceremony, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the SALT Institute, Barrister Emeka Nwankpa, recounted that since its inception in 2003 as a Christian leadership training institution, and then later in 2018 as an accredited tertiary institution, SALT Institute\u2019s journey has been remarkable.<\/p>\n

According to him, the goal of SALT Institute is to be a transformational centre for top-notch education that resonates with the ambitions of a continent ready to redefine its role on the global stage, saying \u201cwe believe strongly that, as Africans, we have the innate ability to lead, invent, and make significant contributions to the global advancement of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rector of SALT Institute, Ambassador Dr. Kodzo Alabo, says his outfit [SALT Institute] was under the mentorship of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) and affiliated also to the Joseph Business School (JBS) in Chicago, USA.<\/p>\n
