Sadiq Abdul has labelled Mark Okraku Mantey as the most suitable candidate for the position of the deputy minister of tourism.

The Chief Executive Officer of 3Music Awards explained that no other choice would make more sense for the Akufo-Addo led government to consider.

According to him, only a representative like Mark, who understand the terrain of the creative industry can bring the healing the sector needs.

He said this in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb.

"The deputy ministerial role may go to somebody like Mark Okraku Mantey for instance who also has a certain proven track record working in the industry…this is a proposal or designate for the ministry to see how he will bring his A-game on.”

Sadiq Abdul then admitted that the administration has already made the right choice with its recent appointment of Mohammed Awal as the Tourism Minister.

In his opinion, Mohammed Awal worked hard during his tenure as the Business Development minister.

Mohammed Awal is actually someone from a space that also is part of what you probably call the creative industry which connects to tourism. I think that it is a good call, however"

"One of the things that has been a concern to a lot of people is whether he brings on board any massive achievement in the Business Development Ministry."

"That is anything to regain the sector confidence because the Business Development ministry was that successful. It follows the logic that the president perhaps may have kept it instead of scrapped it,”he admitted.
