The election took place virtually on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, during the 5th Delegates Congress of FAJ, the Pan-African regional organisation of the International Federation of Journalists.
The FAJ’s new nine-member leadership team will serve for three years.
Omar Faruk Osman of the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSJ) serves as President, Zied Dabbar of Tunisia as Vice President, and Maria Luisa Rogiero of Angola as Honorary Treasurer.
Erick Oduor of Kenya, Jean-Claude Coulibaly of Cote d’Ivoire, Sadig Ibrahim Ahmed Ibrahim of Sudan, Mohammed Et-Talbi of Morocco, and Obam Mejo Marion of Cameroon round out the Steering Committee.
The GJA President extended gratitude to everyone (in Ghana and overseas) who helped him achieve this feat.
At the FAJ Congress, he invited the delegates to join the 3rd Africa Media Convention, which will be held in Accra in May 2024, and assured them that it will be a spectacular event.
