Stonebwoy has made a passionate plea to the government to help the creative art industry.
He said his plea is not because he is an ambassador or anything to do with political influence but he speaks as an artist whose brand has created a source of employment for lots of people.
He said there are so many job opportunities to be created through creative arts.
”There is so much job to be made around even the creative arts. Me as I roll out here at least I can count up to not less than 10 of people who are employed around me just to keep me running; devoid of the production, devoid of the managerial and all these things” he said.
”These ones create opportunities for people to put monies in our pocket. People print my T-shirts in the North, in the west and the East, people create BHIM fanbases and they sell stuff over there to eat and fend for themselves. I do not go attacking them whatsoever because this is what we can also do indirectly” he added.
”So we’ll just urge that the government would also look at the creative art sector beyond the artisan or whatever because it creates employment for people as well,” he concluded.
Stonebwoy made the call at the launch of the Youth Employment Agency’s Job Centre.
According to officials of the YEA, the Job Centre seeks to functionally align a wide range of publicly- and privately listed employment, training and educational opportunities and also provide high-quality customer service to job seekers and potential employers.
