In a fiery discussion on the “All Inclusive Show” with Is Hassan Dablee on Zaa Radio, G. Face vehemently argued that Dagbon entertainment chiefs need to shift their focus from banning artists to empowering them.
Hafiz acknowledged that these chiefs have the authority to restrict concerts in Tamale but insisted that this power should be used to support, not suppress, local talent. He called for a redirection of efforts towards building an entertainment center for the region and reducing the exorbitant fees that the stadium charges artists for hosting concerts.
G. Face’s passionate plea emphasized that instead of focusing on restrictive measures, the chiefs should use their influence to create a more supportive environment for the burgeoning arts scene in Dagbon. He argued that an entertainment center would serve as a crucial hub for cultural and artistic activities, providing artists with a dedicated space to perform, practice, and collaborate. This, in turn, would attract tourism and create economic opportunities, ultimately benefiting the entire region.
Moreover, G. Face pointed out the critical issue of high stadium fees, which he believes are a significant barrier for local artists. By advocating for reduced fees, he underscored the need for the chiefs to negotiate better terms that would enable more frequent and diverse performances. This reduction in costs would allow artists to showcase their talents more freely, enriching the cultural landscape of Tamale. Hafiz’s bold call to action is a plea for the Dagbon entertainment chiefs to use their authority not merely to regulate but to empower and foster a thriving arts community.
