Knowledge is to be shared — Abla Dzifa Gomashie Champions Mentorship in Ghana’s Creative Industry
Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has emphasised the need for mentorship and knowledge-sharing in Ghana’s creative sector.
During a meeting with Fynn Exhibits and PCC Group, she called on seasoned professionals to support and uplift young creatives, rather than gatekeep opportunities.
A national photography competition, supported by UNESCO, will spotlight youth voices, while international collaborator Wojciech Zaremba announced upcoming exhibitions in Poland, Slovakia, and a major showcase at Ghana’s National Museum, featuring award-winning global talents and Ghanaian creatives.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to youth empowerment through training in photography, cinematography, and storytelling.
She said, steps are being taken to launch capacity-building workshops in collaboration with the National Film Authority.
This growing partnership aims to connect Ghana’s creative talents to the global stage.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrissu has announced that government is working to make education free for all learners with special needs, with funding expected to come from GETFund.
He shared the plan during a press briefing with the media.
According to him, an initial estimate shows that the policy will require between 65 million and 100 million cedis every year.
He noted that GETFund currently has a budget of 9 million cedis, and with proper adjustments, it should be possible for the fund to release about 100 million cedis every other year to support the policy.
Mr Iddrissu added that government is also committed to providing free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities.
He explained that the support will go beyond classroom learning and will include feeding and the provision of assistive learning devices for learners with special needs.

Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
