Multiple award-winning Ghanaian musician, Shatta Wale born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr, has proposed a national agenda to push Ghana music forward.
While speaking in his State of The Nation Address at the Shatta Movement Headquarters on Wednesday, June, 2, 2021, the Ayoo hitmaker asked that there should be the institution and enforcement of of a national agenda to prioritize Ghanaian music.
According to him, Ghanaian music should be given 90 percent priority on the country’s airwaves with the remaining 10 percent spread across music coming from other countries.
Shatta Wale indicated that for his proposition to work, “all hands needed to be on deck” including media houses, event organizers, the government and all concerned stakeholders.
