The Acting Director of the National Folklore Board, Nana Adjoa Adobea Asante also disclosed at the ceremony the leading political party will fight to protect the creative sector by enforcing strict protocols on copyright materials.

She added that the NPP will facilitate the construction of a theatre in Koforidua as well as Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale.


“We will pursue the construction of modern large seating theatres in every regional capital except Accra, beginning with Takoradi, Tamale, and Kumasi, as well as setting up an additional Copyright Office in Tamale to cater for the northern sector in addition to the existing ones in Accra and Kumasi.”

Nana Adjoa Adobea added that Creative Arts Bill which is at its final stages will be passed into law soon to serve as a legal framework for activities of creatives in Ghana.
