Ghanaian musician and songwriter, Martin King Arthur, popularly known as Kofi Kinaata, has urged Ghanaians to promote and patronise Made-In-Ghana products in order to help Ghanaian entrepreneurs and businesses to achieve significant growth leading to a meaningful development of the Ghanaian economy.
The multiple award winning musician and “Fante Rap God” made this passionate appeal at the recently held launch event of “My Ghana Town”, a one-stop-shop for a range of Made-In-Ghana products of the highest standard, quality and at affordable prices in Accra, the national capital.
Very impressed with the innovation and creativity employed in packaging the products, Kofi Kinaata indicated that Made-In-Ghana products are becoming increasingly important in the country’s drive towards industrialization as well as a major contributing factor to achieve national economic growth.
“We need to always promote Made-In-Ghana products and also patronize them to keep our Ghanaian entrepreneurs in operations. Have you thought of what that will do for us as a country? This is going to boost the local economy and employment through the use of local materials, working with suppliers, designers and other professionals within the value chain,” he added.
Over the years, Kofi Kinaata has promoted Made-In-Ghana products through his music and other relevant platforms available to him. He indicated his commitment to continuing promoting Ghanaian made products and services as well as exploring the possibility of organising a nationwide campaign to encourage and educate Ghanaians on the essence of patronising Made-In-Ghana products.
The first branch of “My Ghana Town” is located in the heart of Accra, Labone, inside Premier Place and directly opposite Bosphorus Restaurant & Café with the second soon to open in the central business district. The outlet operates Mondays to Saturdays from 9am to 9pm and Sundays from 11am to 7pm.
“My Ghana Town” stocks an assorted range of Made-In-Ghana products including food and ingredients, beverages, skin and beauty-care products, textiles, apparel and garments.
Other products on sale at “My Ghana Town” are leather footwear and slippers, male and female fashion accessories, paintings, handicraft and many more.
Lovers of quality, authentic, innovative, and well–packaged Ghanaian made products now have a lot to cheer about with the recent launch of “My Ghana Town”, located inside Premier Place and directly opposite Bosphorus Restaurant & Café.

After a show-stopping run on stage, Fiifi Coleman Productions is taking ‘I Told You So’ to the big screen.
This follows a successful roadshow tour across Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Cape Coast.
The final leg saw Cape Coast come alive on September 4 and 5, as Fiifi Coleman Productions staged a breathtaking rendition of the Bob Cole classic at the Centre for National Culture (CNC).
Patrons showed up in extraordinary numbers, filling the auditorium with energy, laughter, nostalgia and deep cultural pride. Over the two-night run, the production drew more than 2,000 patrons, making the showcase, dubbed The Afahye Experience, one of the most memorable highlights of the festival season.
Speaking to the media in an interview on Monday, September 7, Fiifi Coleman said the adaptation seeks to protect Ghana’s cultural heritage and history.
According to him, the storyline remains relevant in today’s society and the current generation has lessons to learn from it.
“The movie takes you through family responsibility, and who has the right in the family when it comes to marriage, the father or uncle?” he quizzed.
He noted that in recent times families often shelve the need to conduct necessary background checks before marriage, adding that ‘I Told You So’ brings all these issues to the fore.
He also revealed that the feature film would be due for premiere in March 2027 in commemoration of Ghana’s 70th independence celebrations.
The stage production delivered a seamless blend of humour, heritage and contemporary relevance, reminding patrons of the enduring power of Ghanaian theatre to unite communities and celebrate identity.
With its successful run on stage, the team is now taking a bold step to adapt it for cinema.
He expressed his appreciation to all stakeholders for their support in making the project a success.

Miss World Ghana 2026, Rumzia Sule, has returned home after representing Ghana at the Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam.
Rumzia arrived at the Accra International Airport on Tuesday, September 8, where she received a warm welcome from members of the Miss Ghana Organisation, her fellow queens and runners-up, family members and well-wishers.
The beauty queen was welcomed with flowers and the Ghana flag as she reunited with loved ones following her international pageant journey.
Rumzia was among 111 national ambassadors who participated in the 2026 Miss World Festival in Vietnam.
The grand finale was held on September 5 in Nha Trang, where Joheirry Mola Dominguez of the Dominican Republic was crowned Miss World 2026. Elisabeth Reynés of Spain was named first runner-up, while Taanusiya Chetty of Malaysia emerged as second runner-up.
Although Ghana did not take the overall crown, Rumzia made the country proud with her strong showing in the Beauty With a Purpose segment. Her sanitation-focused project earned her a place among the Top 6 African finalists in the segment.
Her project has focused on promoting sanitation and encouraging Ghanaians to take responsibility for keeping their communities clean. As part of the project, she joined the President’s clean-up campaign and collaborated with the “Bus Stop Boys” to clean some principal streets in Accra.
She also donated GH¢10,000 to the Bus Stop Boys to support their sanitation efforts as well as victims of the Accra floods in June 2026.
Later in the year, Rumzia is expected to extend the campaign to schools, where she will engage children on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
Rumzia earned the opportunity to represent Ghana internationally after winning the 69th Miss Ghana pageant in July 2026. The competition was held under the theme: ‘Empowering Women, Enduring Legacy.’
