Nana Adjoa also said the government has completed the construction of a theatre in Koforidua, adding that it is constructing one in Kumasi and that one in Tamale and Takoradi will soon start.
She continued: “The government is also working to have the Creative Arts Bill passed. This bill, when passed, will establish the Creative Arts Fund.”
“As a visionary government, the Nana Akufo Addo-led government has also commenced the construction of the very first Creative Arts Senior High School. If this is not visionary, then what is?”
