Five personalities, one family: Adom News bids farewell to its 2025/2026 national service personnel

Five National Service Personnel from the Multimedia Group's Adom Newsroom have bid farewell to their roles at the end of the 2025/2026 service period. Serving in the newsroom required commitment, resilience, teamwork, and a willingness to learn, even amid the pressures of journalism. The five remarkable individuals who brought their unique personalities to the newsroom are Michael Dankwah Boateng (DKB), Yaa Tiwaa, Kofi Owusu, Susan Anenya, and Kwabena Nsiah.

Michael Dankwah Boateng, affectionately known as DKB, was a reserved yet dependable team member. He was always willing to lend a hand with errands and story slugs when more experienced journalists were unavailable. Yaa Tiwaa, fondly referred to as the Deputy 'Head of Sex', brought life and energy to the newsroom's 'sex' desk by highlighting International Days and keeping the desk vibrant.

Kofi Owusu was the newsroom's sweetheart and certified lover boy, noted for his cool, soft-spoken demeanor and willingness to learn. Susan Anenya, known as the choir director, wrote newsroom stories and had a playful personality, using old-school names like 'Grandma' and 'Papaa' to add color to the newsroom. Lastly, Kwabena Nsiah, the grandfather of the service personnel, was fiercely committed, calm, and unassuming. His familiarity with the Adom Newsroom made him an invaluable team member.

These five individuals came together to form one family, making memories, sharing laughter, and building relationships during their time in the newsroom. As their National Service journey officially ends, the Adom Newsroom expresses heartfelt appreciation for their dedication, commitment, and contributions. While the newsroom is no longer their daily workplace, the relationships and experiences they shared will remain.

To Michael, Yaa Tiwaa, Kofi, Susan, and Kwabena, the newsroom thanks them for being part of their story. Their service may have ended, but their journey continues, with greater opportunities and brighter doors ahead. From all at the Adom Newsroom, the best of wishes are extended to each individual.
