"On this note, for some reasons I will like us to go a minute-silence for Mr. Psalm Adjeteyfio," a request the audience granted.
The Deputy Minister explained his request: "So, for those of you who are wondering why I said a minute silence for Mr. Palm Adjeteyfio a.k.a. TT. Years ago he became popular through a TV programme called Taxi Driver and that programme was sponsored by Club Beer.
"And so it is your industry that actually made Taxi Driver and made the late Psalm Adjeteyfio who he was before he passed," he added.
The organizers of the event, Global Media Alliance, and partners gathered to award the major players in the industry.
The scheme, first launched in 2017, continues to provide an interactional platform for industry players and relevant stakeholders.
