According to Mr Kemausuor, the creative industry played an instrumental role in shaping the minds of people particularly the youth and was very confident their contribution will go a long way to provide employable skills to many.
“We have identified that the entertainment industry can change the ideology of a country. This is possible through the many job opportunities it creates. However, the government can’t shoulder all the responsibilities without support from corporate organisations.
“As such, private sector participation is equally essential for the promotion and investment of the entertainment industry to explore its hidden opportunities and to positively project the country’s image to the outside world,” he said.
Already, Bison Imperial is pushing for the gains of the entertainment industry with the sponsorship of the Finest Tour by DJ ABK GH held recently.

“For instance, with this tour, the team moved around with logistics and also engaged people at the five locations we held events. All this creates an avenue for jobs and for making income as well.
“This is what my team is driving at and we are committed to this worthy cause of making the creative industry a fertile grounds for employment,” he noted.
