The Editor-in-Chief and founder of ApexnewsGh, Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen, has once again earned a nomination in the prestigious 4th Upper East Regional Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards, reaffirming his place among the region’s most outstanding journalists.
The announcement, made by the Regional Secretary of the Association, Anthony Adongo Apubeo, in a press release dated October 3, 2025, followed a rigorous vetting process chaired by Professor David Millar, alongside Dr. Samuel Adadi Akapule and Ms. Fatima Anafu-Astanga.
This year’s nomination adds to Ngamegbulam’s long list of achievements, underscoring his consistency and excellence in journalism. Over the years, he has received multiple honors from both regional and national bodies for his impactful storytelling and commitment to professional integrity.
In 2019, he was awarded Regional Best Human Rights Reporter, and in 2022, he won the Regional Best Climate Change Reporter award. The following year, 2023, he reclaimed the Best Human Rights Reporter title at the Upper East GJA Awards. His influence extended nationally in 2024, when he was named Best Reporter (Online/Wire Service Category) at the 2nd Inclusive & Anti-Conflict Journalism Awards, a recognition that cemented his reputation as one of Ghana’s finest digital journalists.
This year’s GJA Awards, according to the statement, received 42 entries from 18 journalists, with 13 finalists emerging across 14 competitive categories, including the coveted Journalist of the Year.
The event, set for October 10, 2025, will take place at the serene Blue Sky Hotel in Zuarungu. It promises to be a grand celebration of journalistic excellence and dedication across the Upper East Region.
For the illustrious Ngamegbulam, this nomination is more than just another honor; it is a reflection of years of tireless work, ethical reporting, and a deep passion for amplifying voices that matter.
However, this year’s Awards will be held under the theme: “Upholding Public Trust: The Role of the Media in Promoting Accountable Governance in the Upper East Region.”
