It is becoming increasingly important in today’s fast-paced world for every Ghanaian to have a fundamental understanding of legal concepts and the laws of the land.

This season is expected to show every week till the end of the year.
“Without a doubt, it is very important to place a focus on the protection of rights and interests. The foundation of any functioning society hinges on the citizens understanding their rights, interests and responsibilities. Basic legal knowledge ensures they know what they are entitled to and what is required of them”, Ms. Seidu added.
Law Express is a social service programme designed to educate the general public on the operation of the law and the constitution of the Republic of Ghana in an easy to understand manner.
Currently, it is a highly rated programme among Ghanaian professionals and is valued by lovers of good television content.
The topic for the first episode is “The Lawyer – Client Relationship; Obligations of the Client”.
The show will delve into an attorney-client relationship which is formed when a lawyer agrees to provide legal assistance to someone seeking the lawyer’s services with emphasis on the responsibilities of the client.
The show promises to be very informative and exciting with two respected legal practitioners joining Ms. Seidu on the show to discuss the obligations of the client where the lawyer is expected to proceed in a manner reasonably calculated to advance a client’s defined lawful objectives.
Veteran Ghanaian actor, Fred Amugi, has been cast in the upcoming Pan-African television series, Kismet, where he will play the role of Chief Ademola, a wealthy and influential Yoruba patriarch.
The series, set for production in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria, brings together a diverse cast ensemble from Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, South Africa, Cameroon, Kenya, and the United States.
A statement copied to the GNA in Accra said “It forms part of a broader effort to strengthen collaboration within Africa’s creative industry while positioning African stories for global audiences.”
Speaking on his involvement, Fred Nii Amugi, whose acting career spans more than four decades, described the role as a meaningful milestone.
“It is a proud moment for me at this stage of my career to be part of a Pan-African series,” he said.
“Playing a Yoruba character as a Ghanaian reflects something deeper about who we are as Africans. It reminds us that we are one people, connected beyond borders,” he indicated.
He added that his preparation for the role went beyond performance.
“As a Ghanaian of Ga heritage, I am taking time to study the historical and cultural links between the Ga and Yoruba people.
“I am learning about these connections so I can represent the character with truth and respect.”
“It is important that the world sees the shared identity that exists across our continent,” he noted.
Kismet is being developed as a high-quality thriller series with a Pan-African perspective, drawing talent from across the continent and the diaspora.
According to Nana Dwomoh-Doyen Benjamin, President of the African Chamber of Content Producers and production advisor for the project, the series represents the united image of Africa that is capable of contributing to the global creative economy.
“As part of building a Pan-African creative economy, Kismet is a call for Africans to come together and tell our stories as one people.
“We are also aligning this effort with the opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to create a strong continental market for African content,” he underlined.
The producer of the series, Paul Joegad, emphasised the global ambition behind the project.
Based in the United States, Joegad noted that the production was designed to meet international standards while maintaining authentic African storytelling.
“We are leveraging diaspora networks and global experience to create a series that resonates across cultures,” he said.
“Our goal is to produce content that can stand on international platforms through quality and strong storytelling.”
He added that assembling the right team had been central to the project’s vision. Among those involved is Mawuko Kuadzi, a Casting Society of America (CSA) member and the first African to win an Artios Award in its 40-year history.
The producers say the series seeks to position Africa as a major player in global content, fostering international Pan-African partnerships. –GNA
