This Wednesday the APO, a leading media relations consulting firm in Africa and the Middle East, announced they will offer a round trip ticket and accommodation in Lisbon to journalist and online business news editor Frank Eleanya. The winner of the trip was announced on the organization’s official website this Wednesday morning.
The CEO and Founder of the APO Group, Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, congratulated the journalist for being selected for this opportunity, stating to be “proud to offer this opportunity to an experienced reporter with a rich background”.
