The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) is making arrangements to meet the Kumasi Traditional Council over the shutdown of Oyerepa FM, a Kumasi-based radio station.
The meeting, which is expected to take place on Monday, August 29, 2022, is intended to help address the decision by the traditional council to shut down Oyerepa FM.

The GJA in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Kofi Yeboah, on Friday, August 26, 2022, said “Following the break of the news on the shutdown directed at Oyerepa FM by the Kumasi Traditional Council, the GJA quickly arranged to dispatch a delegation to Kumasi today, Friday, August 26, 2022, to meet with the traditional council and management of the radio station.”
In addition, Mr. Yeboah said “However, the delegation was advised to reschedule the mission to Monday, which is considered to be an appropriate time to meet the traditional council.
