During the grand opening of Longford City in Krofrom, Kumasi, Nana Yaw Akuoko, the Otumfuo Assinhene, delivered a heartfelt address praising Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, affectionately known as COKA, for his outstanding contributions to the city’s growth.
The event not only celebrated the unveiling of a monumental project but also served as a platform for discussing the potential of the creative arts industry in Kumasi and beyond.
As a respected traditional leader and advocate for progress, Otumfuo Assinhene urged Chairman COKA to invest some of his resources in nurturing Kumasi’s creative sector. He highlighted the cultural and economic value of the arts, emphasizing how a thriving creative industry could elevate the city’s status as a cultural hub and create opportunities for young talent and entrepreneurs.
Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, renowned for his investments in various sectors, has played a crucial role in Kumasi’s development, particularly in real estate. His visionary projects, like Longford City, are reshaping the urban landscape, providing new homes, business prospects, and infrastructure for the people of Kumasi.
Kumasi, known as the cultural capital of Ghana, boasts a rich heritage of music, dance, and arts. From traditional Ashanti drum rhythms to contemporary music and theatre, the city has always been a centre of creative activity. However, the lack of proper infrastructure and support has hindered the industry’s full potential.
In his address at the Longford City opening, Nana Yaw Akuoko urged Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah to extend his visionary leadership to the creative arts sector, ensuring its growth and prosperity.
