The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has announced plans to bring Kumawood stars into senior high schools to engage students during entertainment hours.
In a video shared by GHOne on its X account on April 16, 2025, Dr Amoakohene revealed that the initiative aims to promote local content and foster collaboration between the entertainment industry and the education sector.
He hinted at involving popular Kumawood actors, including LilWin and Kwaku Manu, during the entertainment periods in SHS schools across the region.
“We’ve observed that schools usually hold entertainment programs on Saturdays. We’re looking at inviting Kumawood stars like Kwaku Manu, Dr. Likee, and LilWin to join you during those sessions,” he shared.
The Minister emphasised that this move is part of a broader strategy to integrate sectors such as health, creative arts, fashion, and entertainment to support youth development.
“The fashion industry is vibrant, and we can merge it with Kumawood to train students, while also using Kumawood to promote their creations,” he added.
Dr Amoakohene explained that the initiative is intended to nurture students’ appreciation for local content, stating, “You are the future of the region and the country. If we support you to love local content now, it will be easier to promote it in the future.”
