The Foundation Of Concerned Art Professionals (FOCAP) has called out President John Mahama's recent remarks on Ghana's creative sector as disappointing, stressing that talk alone won’t fuel the vibrant industries of music, film, fashion, and culture. While Mahama recognizes the sector as a fast-growing employer and promises budget support, FOCAP highlights that these promises come late and lack urgency.

FOCAP urges bold action to invest in creative infrastructure, enforce intellectual property rights, and build public-private partnerships. The group points to global models where creative economies power national growth, demanding Ghana step up to unlock its full potential. With abundant youth talent and global attention, the sector’s future hinges on political will and real investment—not just words.
