The country\u2019s leaders have been asked to position the nation\u2019s cultural institutions, to counteract negative foreign cultures and galvanize the people towards national development.<\/p>\n
Mr Emmanuel Quao, Volta Regional Director of the Centre for National Culture (CNC), who made the call, said \u201cThe best avenues that help to speak directly to our developmental agenda is best communicated through our various artistic forms\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Regional Director of the CNC, who made the observation at the recently held \u201cJubilee First Oil Exhibition\u201d in Ho, said one of the errors \u201cunusual about our nation is the lack and neglect of infrastructure that goes to support our culture and heritage industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Quao said except for the Central and Ashanti Regions, construction of the remaining Regional Centres of Culture have been in limbo, one for as long as 47 years.<\/p>\n
He said the Volta Region\u2019s Centre started in 1990 and scheduled to be completed in 2010, was only 59 per cent complete and expressed the hope that it would be completed early to help revitalize artistic and social activities the Region.<\/p>\n
Mr Quao said local television series such as \u2018Osofo\u2019 \u2018Dadzie\u2019, \u2018Obra\u2019 and \u2018Concert party\u2019 were a few good examples of what music, drama, dance and visual arts and others could do \u201cto address everyday socio-cultural challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said the attraction of the youth to negative foreign cultures of the country called for a swift challenge spearheaded by well resourced local cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
