Award-winning musician Rex Omar has criticized the Ministry of Tourism for its lack of support for musicians in Ghana. In a recent interview, the musician stated that the ministry does very little to help musicians in the country, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Omar pointed out that while other countries have ministries that actively support their music industries, the Ministry of Tourism in Ghana seems to neglect musicians. He emphasized the importance of music in promoting tourism and cultural exchange, and called on the government to do more to support the music industry.
The musician’s comments come at a time when the music industry in Ghana is facing numerous challenges, including lack of proper funding and infrastructure. Many musicians struggle to make ends meet and are often forced to rely on other sources of income to support themselves.
Omar’s criticism of the Ministry of Tourism highlights the need for greater government support for the music industry in Ghana.
