I see myself as a hardworking presenter and always think of satisfying my listeners and admirers in whatever I do”.

Akosua does so well that even when she is not on air she works behind the scenes assisting the presenter of the midmorning show on Hot FM, Yaw Nkrumah, aka Adwumawura during his programme.

“I have been doing my best to reach the top of the ladder and always prepared to meet the challenges ahead of me,” she told Beatwaves in a chat.

Since becoming a radio presenter, Akosua Safoa Kantimpo has worked hard to make her news presentation unique.

Akosua who left Adom FM for Hot FM over a year ago, said she enjoys whatever she does at Hot FM.
