Government Must Pay Attention to Us - Medikal
Artiste, Medikal, demands that the government pay more attention to the music industry if international recognition is to be gained

Medikal has asked the government to invest more in the entertainment industry.
Per his words, conscious efforts must be made to drive the entertainment sector forwards if any form of progress is to be made.
The AMG rapper outlined the advantages of a well invested entertainment sector, as he noted that it would put Ghana firmly on the map for more international investors to meddle in.
“Government should really pay attention to Ghanaian music because Ghanaian musicians take the name Ghana across the world. Like the way, Burna Boy and Wizkid got a Grammy, it has lifted Nigeria's name because at the end of the day, even if you go to America now and mention their names, they will be known for their Grammy win. It all contributes to recognition for Nigeria,” he stated.
“Even though many are of the notion that Nigeria is popularly known for scam and fraud among others, gradually, their music is erasing that notion and becoming what they are known for."
“So if the government, MUSIGA, GHAMRO, and all those boards can really pay attention and invest more in our entertainment sector, it will really help,” the rapper noted.
Medikal then pointed to the lack of structures to facilitate and grow the music business in the country which he labels as one of the many factors restricting the growth of musicians and other creative people in general.
“It is not easy to be a musician in Ghana. There's no system. If you're shooting a video, you have to inject your own resources to achieve your goals...” he concluded.
