Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The dress code for the funeral is ‘Black and White’. These were made known Monday by Kanghla Blasu, the head of family of the late Chairman of the GJA 75th Anniversary Planning Committee, when he briefed the National Executive on the funeral arrangements.

Mr Blasu led a family delegation to the Ghana International Press Centre for the opening of a Book of Condolence in memory of Godwin Avenorgbo, popularly known as ‘The Grandmaster’.

The Book of Condolence will remain open for 10 days, from 8am to 5pm each day.

The Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, was the second person to sign, after the GJA President, Albert Kwabena Dwumfour.

“The Grandmaster, you brought so much joy and enlightenment to media practice in Ghana…. You touched many lives and encouraged all of us to do the right things.

“You left a mark that cannot be erased in a lifetime. Thank you for your service to our beloved country,” the Minister wrote.

For his part, the GJA President said ‘The Grandmaster’ lived a life worthy of celebration and “we are yet to come to terms with your demise”.

“Your legacy will continue to live with us,” he added.

Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere, a former President of the GJA, who served with Godwin Avenorgbo in the Tengey Administration, paid glowing tribute to ‘The Grandmaster’.

“Nobody loved his profession and professional association (GJA) more than Big Godwin, The Grandmaster”.

He said since 1985 when they served in the Tengey Administration till his death, “he [Godwin Avenorgbo] gave his all to the GJA, Ghana and his profession”, adding, “He is your quintessential peacemaker who worked tirelessly to promote unity in the GJA”.

A member of the GJA 75th Anniversary Planning Committee, Kobby Asmah, in his tribute, said the death of Mr Avenorgbo was “an extremely sad moment, indeed”.

“We can’t believe Big Godwin is no more with us,” he added.

Mr Avenorgbo, a former Director of Radio of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), died on August 19, 2024, after a sudden illness.

He served as an Executive Member of the GJA in the Tengey Administration (1985-1988) and in many other capacities.

He led the planning and execution of activities to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the GJA.
