Ghana’s President, H.E Nana Addo at the last State of the Nation address has mentioned that plans have been advanced by his government to build a theatre in Kumasi but, however, Rex isn’t still pleased holistically.
“Look at other developed countries, creatives are in the lead but when it comes to Ghana [nothing]. We are getting to 30 million people we have only one theatre in Accra that takes 1,500 people, this was donated to us by Chinese so on our own what theatre have we built for ourselves,” he quizzed.
Rex Omar is currently serving as the Chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) and he’s demonstrated on several platforms how passionate he is about the Creative Arts Industry.
