At the heart of Ghana’s business and economic reportage lies the enduring voice of Suleiman Mustapha, the distinguished Special Correspondent of the Graphic Communications Group Limited. At the inaugural Technology Industry Media Excellence Awards (TIMEA), Suleiman was honoured as the winner in the Print and Online sub-category under the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) category.
With a keen eye for unraveling complex market dynamics and a penchant for precision, Suleiman’s winning stories offered fresh clarity on the inner workings of Ghana’s telecommunications and digital infrastructure sectors. His coverage deconstructed industry reforms, investment flows, and corporate strategies—connecting the dots for policy actors, investors, and the everyday reader.
No stranger to recognition, Suleiman previously earned the prestigious GJA Business and Financial Journalist of the Year (2018). At TIMEA, his investigative rigor and thought leadership once again earned industry-wide respect.
As a leading advocate for responsible financial journalism, Suleiman currently serves as the President of the Journalists for Business Advocacy (JBA). His editorial work continues to set benchmarks for integrity, insight, and transformative impact.
In appreciation of his exceptional contribution, Suleiman received a laptop and a citation certificate, presented during the awards event attended by media luminaries, Chamber executives, and representatives from Ghana’s telecom and fintech landscape.
“Suleiman’s writing demystifies the most complex economic themes, making them accessible and actionable for public good,” noted one TIMEA judge.
His TIMEA win reaffirms the essential role that in-depth, policy-literate journalism plays in shaping the future of Ghana’s digital economy.
In a resounding testament to courage, depth, and journalistic brilliance, Ivan Heathcote-Fumador of Ultimate FM, a subsidiary of the EIB Network, emerged the overall winner at the maiden edition of the Technology Industry Media Excellence Awards (TIMEA), held in Accra.
Ivan was adjudged winner in the Broadcast sub-category under the Electronic Money Issuers (EMIs) category, distinguishing himself through exceptional reporting that merges inclusivity with innovation. His work sheds critical light on how digital finance and technology are reshaping underserved communities—particularly from the lens of accessibility and equality.
A solutions-focused journalist with over a decade of experience, Ivan’s beat spans the intersection of disability rights, gender advocacy, digital economy, and governance. His nuanced coverage consistently elevates voices often sidelined in mainstream tech discourse. Though visually impaired, his storytelling is unclouded—probing, principled, and profoundly impactful.
Held on Friday, December 13, 2024, the TIMEA Awards brought together thought leaders from across Ghana’s telecommunications and fintech ecosystem, celebrating journalists whose reporting fuels public understanding and sector advancement.
As overall winner, Ivan received a brand-new laptop and a citation from the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications and the EMIs Chamber of Ghana, co-organisers of the initiative.
“Ivan’s stories not only inform, but also inspire the entire industry to do better—for everyone,” remarked a Chamber executive during the ceremony.
With his signature depth and humanity, Ivan continues to prove that while he may lack sight, his vision leads the way for inclusive, responsible tech journalism in Ghana and beyond.

Deutsche Telekom will reportedly assume responsibility for corporate telecoms clients from its affiliate T-Systems, as part of a restructuring programme aiming to cut down costs.
Reuters reported the move will see T-Systems operate as a slimmed-down operation, focused on IT and digital services.
A few thousand positions are expected to be transferred from T-Systems to Deutsche Telekom, a process planned Q2 2020, however discussions still need to be held with partners.
CEO of T-Systems, Adel Al Saleh, who was hired by the German operator in 2018 to stop losses at the unit, outlined to staff that the business would operate in the future as “an integrated end-to-end IT player and reliable enabler for our clients’ digitisation”.
In September 2018 the company laid off 5,600 people of its staff as part of a restructuring programme led by Al-Saleh in order to turn around T-Systems’ financial performance.
The IT services unit of Deutsche Telekom is reportedly close to halfway through its goal to achieve an estimated €600 million in cost savings as an outcome from the restructure.
Reuters also forecasted that the latest move will leave T-Systems with revenue of €4 billion ($4.4 billion), and around 30,000 employees serving 1,000 clients.
