Dear President John Dramani Mahama, Were I to write a book on my investigative journalism career, I would dedicate a chapter to the role you have played in the success of that story.

I began my full-time career after winning the GJA Journalist of the Year award in 2011, a year after graduating from journalism school.

But, even then, I wasn't an investigative journalist.

During the studies for my first and second journalism degrees, I did not take a class in investigative journalism.
