Dr. Abubakari Sidick Ahmed to be honoured with grand retirement celebration

A group of former volunteers from Radio Univers will honor Dr. Abubakari Sidick Ahmed. He is the long-serving manager of the University of Ghana’s campus radio station. The retirement celebration will take place on Friday, June 6, 2025.

The event is themed “The Touchdown.” It will be held at the Great Hall of the University of Ghana at 6:00 PM. Attendance is strictly by invitation only.

Dignitaries, mentees, colleagues, friends, and family will gather to celebrate Dr. Ahmed. They all share a common goal: to honor his leadership and mentorship in Ghana’s media space.

Dr. Sidick Ahmed, affectionately known as Alhaji, has served at Radio Univers for over twenty years. He started as a student reporter and rose to Station Manager. During his time there, he nurtured talent and built confidence among young broadcasters.

Albert Quashigah, Esq., Chairperson of the Central Planning Committee, spoke about the event's purpose. He emphasized the importance of recognizing those who influence their communities.

“When people dedicate themselves like Alhaji did,” Quashigah said, “we must recognize them while we can.”

He added that both old and new volunteers believe in acting now rather than later. Under Dr. Ahmed's guidance, they learned valuable skills and gained confidence.

Quashigah expressed gratitude for being part of this planning effort. He noted that this recognition could inspire others in their own endeavors.

“This single act would encourage others to shine,” he stated. He thanked the 16-member planning committee for their hard work in organizing this celebration.

As this era comes to an end, The Touchdown aims to celebrate a legacy. It honors a mentor and visionary whose impact extends beyond Radio Univers.
