"I encourage every musician out there to find ways to accomplish your goals instead of expecting someone else to do it for you. Waiting for someone to enter government and fix the showbiz industry or address your concerns will be a futile effort," he stated.

Akwaboah expressed his belief that the government has not done enough to support the creative arts industry and cautioned musicians against expecting favors or interventions from them.

Instead, he called for the government to create a conducive environment for the industry's growth by providing tax incentives, infrastructure, and supportive policies.
