Broadcast Journalist, Author and Lecturer Abdul Hayi Moomen has ended his relationship with the state broadcaster, Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), MyNewsGh.com has confirmed.
According to incontrovertible sources available to this portal, Abdul Hayi Moomen who joined Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) in 2009, would be the Head of Corporate Affairs at the premier university of the North.
While at GBC, he became the face of the station hosting some of the most important on-air and off-air programs including Moomen Tonight, Talking Point, News Conference, Presidential encounters, and the 2020 Presidential debate.
He also runs national commentary during state events such as Independence day ceremonies, state funerals and many others.
Abdul lectured part-time at the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) (special courses) and Communication Studies at the Islamic University College all in Accra.
He has declined comment on the matter but we confirmed from University for Development Studies (UDS) that he is set to commence work later next week.
Known for his sense of humor, the prolific writer is expected to bring a spark to the UDS taking advantage of his huge relationship enjoyed with media as a practitioner himself.
