Ghana, Nigeria rivalry outmoded – Mark Okraku-Mantey - www.asempanews.com

Mark Okraku-Mantey, has said the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria’s creative industry is outmoded and must rather be replaced with increased collaboration.

“I hear this conversation on Ghana and Nigeria.

“The truth is that the thing between Ghana and Nigeria is outmoded,” he admonished.

“We are supposed to talk about how our collaborations can [push] us forward and not the competition between Ghana and Nigeria,” he noted.

To buttress his call for collaboration and urgent ceasing of unhealthy competition between Ghana and Nigeria, he cited the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

55 countries signed this treaty and Ghana signed first.”

Mr Okraku-Mantey who said this on Accra-based Hitz FM, opined that if there should be any competition it should be between Africa and the world beyond it and not within the continent itself.
