The government has recognised the work of five leading Ghanaian creatives by granting them diplomatic passports to support their efforts in promoting the country’s image around the world.
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa presented the passports to Wodemaya, Rocky Dawuni, Anita Erskine, Dentaa and Ibrahim Mahama at a brief ceremony in Accra. He praised them for using their craft to project Ghana internationally and encouraged them to continue representing the country with pride.
Mr Ablakwa also linked their achievements to the upcoming 2025 Diaspora Summit, which will be held in Accra from December 19 to 20. He said the creatives’ work speaks directly to the summit’s goal of strengthening ties with Ghanaians abroad and showcasing the nation’s cultural wealth.
Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie commended the honourees for their determination and consistency over the years, describing them as role models whose contributions have raised Ghana’s profile.
Speaking on behalf of the group, media personality Anita Erskine expressed gratitude for the recognition and promised that they would continue to carry Ghana’s story to the world.
The event was also attended by the Acting Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Khadija Iddrisu, along with other senior officials of the ministry.
