Legendary Ghanaian musician Rex Omar has revealed that the Black Star Experience, a major national initiative under the Office of the President, will officially be launched on May 2, 2025.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb during the Kwahu Business Forum which was held on April 19, 2025, Rex Omar, who currently serves as the National Coordinator of the Black Star Experience, revealed that the launch will be led by President John Dramani Mahama as part of the president’s 120-day social contract with Ghanaians.
Rex Omar further emphasised that while the public interest for the initiative is high, further details concerning the program will only be disclosed after the official launch.
He explained that it is an approach to ensure that the full scope and intent of the program is unveiled properly at the presidential level.
“The Black Star Experience will be launched by the president on May 2, 2025. It is President John Dramani Mahama’s flagship program, which is part of his 120-day promises. The date has been fixed and after it is launched, we will discuss more on it. It will be a complete game-changer,” he said.
