He assured Aneke TV that the Board will partner with them to promote education and other government programmes aimed at improving the welfare of the people.
He further explained that the Board is open to constructive criticism based on facts and encouraged media practitioners, as watchdogs of society, to stand on truth and serve as worthy examples in their service to the public.
