Fati Shaibu-Ali is a multi-award winning journalist with over fifteen years’ experience in Media and Journalism.
Her work cuts across mainstream journalism, new media trends and communication. She has worked on a number of local and international projects.
During the 2008 General elections her ground breaking story on the neglect of persons with disabilities in the registration process yielded swift response from the electoral commission when it set up a registration center at the offices of the National Federation of the Disabled to make for easy access to a registration center.
Her undercover investigative piece on prostitution in Madina a suburb of Ghana, though risky, opened a whole new can of worms with the debate on why young girls engage in prostitution.
She has been News Editor of e.TV Ghana since 2012 and led the team to cover the 2012 general elections. eTV Ghana gave one of the best election coverage programmes at that time with good analysis of events. Fati is also an on-air personality and was co-host of e.TV Ghana’s flagship programme State Of The Nation.
Her new role as head of training at e.TV Ghana has seen her mentor over a hundred young men and women with interest in journalism. Today, some of her mentees can be found in credible media and news companies across Ghana and beyond.
She is a fellow of the US State Department, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, a member of the international center for journalists (ICJ) based in Washington DC, and a member of the Ghana Journalists Association). She is also a fellow at the Biosciences for West Africa (B4FA).
I chose journalism out of passion to see results especially with issues women and children.
