Takoradi, March 22, GNA – Nana Kobina Nketsia V,
Omanhene of Essikado Traditional Area, has commended
TV Africa for its efforts to project the culture and values of
the country as well as those of Africa. He made the commendation when opening Western
Regional Offices of TV Africa at Takoradi. Nana Kobina Nketsia said what the television was doing
was important at this time because of the oil find. “We have to protect our own values over the oil
discovery in order to unite as a people”, he said. Nana Kobina Nketsia said nothing concrete was being
done to resolve the identity crisis that the Ghanaian and for
that matter, Africans, were confronted with. He said many Ghanaians and Africans felt that anything
Ghanaian or African was not good and had adulterated their
culture and values with foreign ones. Nana Kobina Nketsia said the second phase of the
independence of the Africa should be the liberation of their
minds to see things from the African perspective. Mr. Berifi Apenteng, Managing Director of TV Africa,
said the offices were the first regional office of the station. He said Western Region is important to the station
because of the developments taking place in the area. Mr. Kwaw Ansah, Chief Executive Officer of the
Station, said the station was now part of the Western
Region and would help preserve its culture and values.
