Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, the Ghanaian woman who organized the sing-a-thon, has revealed that she and her team have invested in a priority review for their event.
This decision, costing $750, will expedite the review process, reducing it to a timeframe of 1-5 days, in contrast to the standard review period of 12 weeks.
“Because of the popularity of the event they requested for our files. After two weeks of waiting, we requested a priority review. The normal review takes not less or more than 12 weeks. But if you want it quick you pay an amount of money and they review your file within five working days.
So that’s what we paid for. Officially, it’s $650 but when you are going to pay, you’ll need to pay some transaction fee so we did roughly $750,” she said in an interview.
Afua Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon brought Ghanaians together during the Christmastide as she made Ghana music popular.
