Administrator wins Joy FM's 10,000 dollars promotion

Accra, April 21, GNA - A 26-year-old Administrator of Asda Early Learning and Development Centre in Accra, Ms Akua Daaku on Thursday won Joy FM's "10,000 dollars (94 Million cedis) Promotion" organised as part of activities marking the 10th anniversary of the radio station. She came out tops after she went through two rounds of grilling about the activities of Joy FM and current affairs.

Ms Daaku in an Interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said she would invest the money in the pre-school and also buy a television set for her mother.

She said she knew a lot about Joy FM, as "I have been listening to Joy FM since its inception".

Mr Komla Dumor, Co-ordinator of the promotions, said the competition was part of the Station's desire to reward listeners for their support over the past 10 years.

"Over the past 10 years it has not been easy.... Our listeners have always been loyal and it is through such promotions that you can thoroughly reward them."

The "10,000-dollar Promotion" started on the April 6 to coincide with the date on which the station started test transmissions in 1995. Everyday 10 people called into Joy FM's Super Morning Show hosted by Mr Dumor to answer five questions. After two weeks the results were compiled and the 10 best contestants qualified for the final, which was held at Somovision at Osu in Accra.
