The Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku-Mantey, has lauded Ghanaian entertainers for staying consistent despite challenges they faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Announcing the ultimate winner at the second edition of the Entertainment Achievement Awards (EAA), Mr. Okraku-Mantey, said local entertainers deserve the public’s support and patronage to make them feel appreciated.
According to him, celebrating creative personalities will motivate them to give off their best to entertain Ghanaians and promote the country globally.
Efforts by the government of Ghana to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease led to the imposition of restrictions which affected the organization of entertainment programmes as event venues remained closed for months.
