“I had the opportunity to host a musical event during Ghana@60 and invited Global Gospel musicians like Sinach, Darlene Zschech, Sony Badu and many others. There was no space to accommodate 3,000 people so we had to pay GH₵60,000 to rent a church for three hours for the program.

"The spaces will make a lot of money,” he said.
