So when they are successful, don\u2019t look around and say why it didn\u2019t happen to Ghana. GT Bank saw the potential in entertainment. They formed an entertainment wing at Ndani TV and produced their own content. Access Bank also saw potential in entertainment, formed Accelerate TV, and created their own content. UBA saw the entertainment opportunity and formed Red TV,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of Nigerian banks have developed massive interest in the growth of the showbiz industry and are supporting the construction of cinemas as well as the provision of infrastructure to galvanise its growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also funding some musicians and their projects, all in a bid to put them on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"If we can&#039;t partner to capitalize on the creative sector, don&#039;t point fingers at others - Mawuli\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z49C-oy2Q_c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to Amelley Djosu on Joy Prime&#8217;s <strong>Celeb Biz<\/strong>,\u00a0Mr. Gavor expressed belief that entertainment is a multi-billion dollar sector that can rake in a lot of money into the Ghanaian economy if the right investments are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s not be na\u00efve, and let\u2019s not pretend not to see the potential that is right in front of us.
