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.
