Citi FM’s Bernard Avle and Obrafour mentor the youth

Citi Fm ‘s presenter, Bernard Avle, and astute hiplife artiste, Michael Okyere Darko, popularly known as Obrafour,  were the main speakers at this year’s edition of Role Model Africa, which came off at the African Regent Hotel in Accra last week.

The Director of News Programming at Citi FM, Bernard Avle, shared his ideas on new developments in the media that can be harnessed to sustain the industry. Recently adjudged one of Ghana's 20 Most Influential Business Leaders under 40 by the Business World Magazine, Bernard nurtured his journalism skill back then at the University of Ghana’s Radio Univers when he was a presenter.

His experiences are what he shared with some students and patrons at the mentoring programme. Speaking on the theme, Projecting New Frontiers in Media and Entertainment to Sustain the African Business, Bernard explained the need for people to take advantage of the many opportunities available in the media.

Obrafour, on the other hand, blended his experiences in music and business to drive home the message for stakeholders in the music industry to create new ideas that will cater for the changing trends and relieve the entertainment industry of its challenges.

Mentoring Activist and Co-Creator of the Role Model Africa, Samuel Agyeman-Prempeh, speaking with Showbiz explained that the project is designed to provide one-on-one mentoring for individuals with specific need and group mentoring to individuals with a common area of study. 

Mr. Agyeman-Prempeh believes that the African youth can make good use of  the mentoring platform to scale up their business and provide a global competition for their products and services.

Role Model Africa is an initiative by INVENTS, a human capital development organisation that focuses on raising young people as leaders and entrepreneurs. Since October 2007, INVENTS has been consistent in using personal leadership models and projects to reach out to millions of young people through its mentorship hubs on various tertiary campuses.

It is a mentoring platform designed for the African youth who want to replicate the success of their businesses in other African countries and beyond.
