Afronation to be hosted in Ghana for the next five years; Twitter reacts

Ghana has successfully secured a right to host the biggest Afro music festival Afronation for the next five years.

The deal was brokered between the Government of Ghana acting through the Ministry of Tourism and the event organizers Event Horizon Entertainment Ltd.

Gabby Otchere Darko, who is a cousin and a close associate to the President posted on Facebook: “a major highlight of this maiden UK-Africa Summit is the 5-year Africa exclusive events deal for Ghana to host Afro Nation annually.”

“This deal was signed in the presence of President Akufo-Addo between the Ghana Tourism Authority and Event Horizon Entertainment Ltd, operators of Afro Nation, “whereby Ghana would host Afro Nation in Africa exclusively on an annual basis for the next five years.”

“This means, investors, entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses have at least a five-year investment plan to focus on to exploit well the anticipated annual Christmas traffic. The trade boom will be sustained by your thinking government”.
