The Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President, Kofi Okyere-Darko, has urged Ghanaian media outlets to play at least 70% Ghanaian music throughout March to mark Heritage Month.
Speaking at the launch of Heritage Month at Labadi Beach Hotel on Monday, March 3, 2025, Okyere-Darko called on Ghanaians, especially the media, to showcase national pride and promote local content during this period.
He described Heritage Month as an opportunity for Ghanaians to celebrate their identity and to help contribute to the growth of the country’s creative arts sector.
“Heritage Month is a call for everyone to show how proud they are as Ghanaians. For this month of March, please let us prioritise Ghanaian music. I urge us to play at least 70% Ghanaian music,” he stated.
Okyere-Darko expressed confidence in the abundance of quality Ghanaian music available, noting that the country’s music catalogue is enough to sustain the airwaves throughout the month.
“We have enough music in our collection to keep us going for the entire month,” he said.
He also encouraged Ghanaians to use the occasion to reflect on their shared responsibility in nation-building.
“We have a beautiful country to build together. Let’s all work towards creating the Ghana we want,” he added.
