Multimedia sacks three, news editor resigns

Ghana’s biggest private media organisation, the Multimedia Group Limited, has sacked three of its staff while another has resigned.

Popular actress and radio personality, Naa Ashorkor, had her contract terminated with immediate effect on May 5, 2020.

Long-serving Adom FM editor, Samuel Nii Dowuona, resigned from the media house last Friday, a source within the company told theghanareport.com.

Two senior reporters at myjoyonline.com Jerry Mordy and George Nyavor have also been handed dismissal letters. They have had a combined experience of more than 10 years at MGL.

Of the four exits, Naa Ashorkor took to her Instagram page to announce the news to her followers.

“I have got Good news and bad news everyone! With immediate effect as of yesterday, my now former employers, Multimedia Group, terminated my appointment. That’s the bad news. Now for the good news, such situations only give my God the opportunity to show up. It’s not an easy time to be out of a regular and steady income. We are not in normal times, but hey, I would like to use this opportunity to encourage everyone who has lost their job or income during these difficult times to not lose hope.

“Hope is an amazing thing that gives us the ability to stand and trust God in such difficult circumstances. Don’t lose hope. Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans. I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Stay tuned for some more news soon,” her Instagram post read.

It is unclear what led to the dismissals and resignation.

The celebrated actress and media personality, Naa Ashorkor, joined the Multimedia Group Limited in 2017 after her exit from the EIB Network, another media.

She was the host of ‘Showbiz A-Z’ and ‘Strong and Sassy’ on Joy FM, a subsidiary of the Multimedia Group Limited.
