With guest artistes including Mavis and OJ in attendance, there was a lot of music to delight guests, many of whom danced their hearts out at the function.
Emelia Arthur’s slogan for the Buy Made-In- Ghana campaign is ‘Consume What We Produce, Produce What We Consume.’
Chairman for the occasion was Dr Nana Obeng Wiabo V, chief of Gomoa Nyanyano in the Central Region.
He said it was ironical that though this country is blessed with vast forest reserves, we still import tooth picks.
She commended Emelia for embarking on such a patriotic campaign for a better Ghana tomorrow.
“Our President gave us some joy not too long ago when he went to Parliament. He showed us the shoes he was wearing which were made in Ghana. Patronising our own is the only way to gain economic independence for this country,” the Gomoa Nyanyano chief said.
Emelia herself performed songs from the Kyere Me Kwan album after it was officially unveiled. Copies were auctioned at the event.
