Wembley Sports Construction’s Robert Coleman gifts Nathaniel Attoh GHC 50,000

Wembley Sports Construction's CEO, Robert Coleman, has presented JoySports journalist Nathaniel Attoh with a generous GHC 50,000 gift. This award came at the 30th GJA Awards ceremony in Accra on November 7, 2025, in acknowledgment of Attoh's significant contribution to sports journalism. Attoh, who remains popularly known as Citizen Attoh, triumphed over Media General's Bill Eshun to win the esteemed Sports Journalist of the Year award for 2026.

His victory was largely due to his documentary titled 'The Audacious Leap', which went live on JoyNews platform on May 19, 2025.

This documentary narrates the inspiring tale of Ghanaian para-athlete Gilbert Ampiah, who defied physical limitations to pursue his athletics dreams. Ampiah, when the documentary was in production, was a 16-year-old student at St Augustine’s College in Cape Coast. He was making notable strides as a high jumper despite having been born with a leg deformity.

The documentary featured visits to St Augustine’s College, where Attoh spoke with Ampiah and key figures in his life, including his father, educators, coaches, and peers.

The impact of Attoh's work became evident as Ampiah went on to achieve substantial milestones in his career post-documentary. He set multiple personal bests, including a 1.82 metre high jump at St Augustine’s College. His success did not stop at national levels; he claimed a bronze medal in the High Jump T44 category at the Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan International Para Athletics Meeting in Marrakech, Morocco.

Attoh's consistent success at the GJA Awards continues the winning streak for JoySports' sports desk. He stands as the third consecutive winner from the group's sports division, following in the footsteps of Muftawu Nabila Abdulai, who previously claimed the Sports Journalist of the Year award in 2024 and 2025.
