One of Sierra Leone’s media dinosaurs, a graduate from the reputable London School of Journalism (LSJ), who has built an enviable reputation and niche in the field of journalism, the charismatic Abdul Karim Fonti Kabia, has officially quitted the Africa Young Voices (AYV) Media Empire, after diligently serving that renowned institution for almost eight years.
Fonti started working for the AYV Media Empire since it was established. He served in the capacity of Executive Editor of the Ariogbo Newspaper and played key roles at various management capacities.
He officially left that institution on Thursday 28 February, 2019 in the capacity of Director of Quality Assurance, Communications and Public Relations to occupy his new position at State House as Strategic Communications Specialist in the Education, Foreign Affairs and Social Development Sectors. Though it was a sombre moment, yet it was inevitable.
As a young man, Fonti acquired years of experience and remarkably contributed with his pen as well as fingers to generate meaningful and positive transformation in different spheres.
He has travelled to different parts of the world and is held in high esteem internationally, even at one point in time, meeting and having fruitful discussions with former US President Obama and other important political personalities in that country.
Fonti will be fondly remembered for his presentation of HOT SEAT and FRONT PAGE on AYV Television and Radio Stations.
Undoubtedly, knowing Fonti’s calibre, there is every possibility that in his new position he will definitely create an indelible impact, both within and outside the country, which will surely shape, influence public decisions and meaningfully change lives.
He is a very objective journalist and has been practicing professionally, displaying a high sense of independence and clarity.
The SLPP Government has indeed wooed a priceless and true asset into its fold.
Good Luck Abdul Fonti Kabia. Wishing you the best of luck in your new station.
