In a separate post on Facebook, he noted that the deal “…means, investors, entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses have at least a five-year investment plan to focus on to exploit well the anticipated annual Christmas traffic. The trade boom will be sustained by your thinking government.”

Speaking to Rudy Kwaakye, the Director of Production for Afro Nation Ghana, he confirmed that the deal has really been signed but also noted that the details of the contract will be made public in due time.

Afro Nation was founded by Adesegun Adeosun aka SMADE of Smade Entertainment and his partner Obi Asika.

It started in May 2018 in Portugal to sell African culture to Europe.

Ghana’s edition of the concert which was held from December 27 to 30, 2019, was the first time it was held in Africa.
