Let’s Support Chairman COKA To Invest Heavily Into The Creative Arts Industry – Otumfuo Assinhene

Nana Yaw Akuoko, Otumfuo Assinhene, has lauded the efforts of Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, affectionately known as COKA, for his remarkable contributions to the city’s growth.

In a heartfelt address at the grand opening of Longford City in Krofrom, Kumasi, Otumfuo Assinhene, a prominent traditional leader and advocate for progress, used the occasion to appeal to Chairman COKA, urging him to direct some of his considerable resources towards the flourishing of Kumasi’s creative sector.

He emphasized the arts’ immense cultural value and economic potential, noting that a thriving creative industry would not only enhance the city’s reputation as a cultural hub but also provide numerous opportunities for young talent and entrepreneurs.

Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, known for his investments in various sectors, has been a pivotal figure in the development of Kumasi, particularly in the real estate industry. His visionary projects, such as Longford City, are transforming the urban landscape, providing new homes, business opportunities, and infrastructural developments for the people of Kumasi.

Kumasi, often called the cultural capital of Ghana, is home to a rich heritage of music, dance, and arts, with a long history of artistic expression. From traditional Ashanti drum rhythms to contemporary music and theatre, the city has always been a hub of creative activity. However, the lack of adequate infrastructure and support for artists has hindered the full realization of the industry’s potential.

Nana Yaw Akuoko, Otumfuo Assinhene, in his address at the opening of Longford City, urged Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah to extend his visionary leadership into the creative arts sector.
