Chief of Staff calls on media to be reliable partners in development

The Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, Julius Debrah, has called on the media in Ghana to remain committed and reliable partners in the country’s development agenda.

He emphasized the critical role the media plays in shaping public opinion and fostering national unity, especially as the government rolls out key policies like the 24-hour economy initiative.

Mr Debrah made the call on Thursday, October 2, 2025, during the 75th anniversary celebration of the Graphic Communications Group Ltd (GCGL) in Accra.

The event, which featured a cake-cutting ceremony and tributes to Graphic’s enduring legacy, brought together government officials, media executives and civil society leaders.

Describing the Daily Graphic as a “true Ghanaian institution,” Mr Debrah praised the company for its commitment to accuracy and integrity throughout Ghana’s post-independence history.

 He said the newspaper’s story offered important lessons for the wider media landscape.

“The story of Graphic at 75 holds lessons for all media houses in Ghana; credibility matters. Graphic has earned the trust of generations by sticking to the values of accuracy and integrity,” he stated.

Highlighting the government’s plan to implement a 24-hour economy, the Chief of Staff appealed to the media to put politics aside and use their platforms to educate the public on the potential benefits of the policy, including job creation and increased productivity.

“All it means is that we need to devise systems to increase productivity. If we get it right, it will go a long way to help our nation,” he said.

He assured the management of GCGL that concerns raised about limited state support for the company would be communicated to the President.

Mr Debrah also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to media freedom, journalist safety  and capacity-building initiatives to help traditional media transition effectively into the digital age.
