Members of the Executive Board of the MUSIGA Presidential Grand Ball have paid a courtesy call on the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, to thank her for her continued support for the Ageing Musicians Welfare Fund (AMWeF).

She indicated her commitment to supporting the fund to cater for the welfare of our veteran musicians.

For his part, the MUSIGA President, Bice Osei Kuffour, expressed the union and AMWeF’s gratitude for the First Lady’s support.
