Naa Dedei Crowned Face Of GIJ

Over the decade, the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) has seen bold, beautiful, and intelligent compete intensively for the covetous Miss Communicator crown now the Face of GIJ crown. The name was changed to the latter just a year ago on realizing the former was quite difficult to identify as most people didn’t know GIJ is a communication school.
Last year, ten ladies bold, beautiful, smart and eloquent ladies stood for the race. Out of the ten, the cutie, beautiful and talented Carly Joe-Louis emerged the queen followed by the confident Betty Naa Achawa Sackey (now Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2014 fame) and the rap queen Anita Akua Akuffo (also a Miss Malaika 2014 fame and Miss Akwaaba 2013, a GIJ pageant for first years) taking the second and third positions respectively.
2015 saw a massive turn of events as 26 beautiful first year ladies auditioned on March 13, for the covetous crown after the beautiful Carly

Fifteen girls passed the auditions to the grooming stage which was very stressful as described by Justina Odoi, a contestant. History was made as for the first time as the winner for Miss Akwaaba emerged as the winner of Face of GIJ pagaent. The queen is no one but the bold black beauty, Naa Dedei Armah. Justina Odoi, a strong contender came second and the “D-bee” Akua Daniels came third.

Undoubtedly, the loud, friendly and “crazy” Victoria Doe came up as Miss Congeniality and the best talent.
The audience at the executive hall of the Trade Fair Center in La, a suburb of Accra on April 17, was a sight to behold. Amidst loud cheers and fans, the audience made the show a memorable one. The grand finale was the battle of the crème de la crème and Naa Dedei proved herself to be the best. She said, “It was a tough competition and I am glad I came out a winner and the first Miss Akwaaba to be a Face of GIJ”.
