Delta Paper Mill Limited, producers of Flora Tissue and paper products has appointed two personalities in the arts and entertainment industry as brand ambassadors.
They are television show hostess, Anita Akuffo, and Abdul Waris Umaru popularly known as Comedian Waris. The two are expected to increase visibility and patronage of the ‘Flora’ brand through various activities.
The duration and terms of the contract were, however, not disclosed but the company, announcing the deal last week, said they were selected based on their personality and outstanding performance which “resonates with the brand.”
“Anita personifies style, beauty, and quality and these resonate with Flora which is a premium brand,” the company said in a statement.
Anita Akua Akuffo, with six years media experience, is currently the co-hostess of the popular TV show, ‘Date Rush’, ‘The Ladies Circle’ and ‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful’ on Tv3 Network. She was the second runner-up at Miss ECOWAS Ghana 2012, and a Miss Malaika finalist in 2014.
Comedian Waris on the other hand has been in the entertainment circles since 2016 and released a number of comedy skits via his social media platform with the latest titled ‘Agenda Boys’.
The entertainer, who joined Kantanka TV recently, took to his Instagram page to announce his new role, attracting positive response and congratulatory messages from his followers.
Delta Paper Mill Limited, operating from its state-of-the-art factory on the Motorway Industrial Area in Accra, continues to make inroads with its disposable ‘Flora’ tissue paper which is said to be ‘better than a cloth handkerchief.’
It had embarked on series of initiatives and corporate social responsibility as it aims to broaden its market shares.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.
