The chairman of Asaase Broadcasting Company (ABC) Ltd, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, led a delegation from Asaase Radio to the Advertising Association of Ghana (AAG) on Friday 5 November, following the passing of the association’s president, Torgbor Mensah.
Mensah, affectionately called Mr Tee, died on Saturday 23 October 2021.
Otchere-Darko said Ghana has lost a colossus of the advertising industry.
“He’s helped promote Ghanaian businessmen, political parties and generally helped shape the narration of Ghana as a place to do business,” he wrote in the book of condolence.
For his part, the general manager of Asaase Broadcasting Company (ABC) Ltd, Prince Moses, said Mensah’s legacy will continue to live on.
“His story and contribution to the industry will have a lasting impact on the media. May his soul rest in peace. We wish his family peace at such a painful moment,” Moses said.
Asaase Broadcasting Company Ltd, the first media company to pay a formal call on leaders of the AAG after the death of the association’s president, donated cartons of water to the family of Torgbor Mensah.
