"I encourage every musician out there to find ways to accomplish your goals instead of expecting someone else to do it for you. Waiting for someone to enter government and fix the showbiz industry or address your concerns will be a futile effort," he said.
Akwaboah expressed his disappointment with the government's apparent lack of support for the creative arts industry. He cautioned musicians against banking on government favors or interventions, urging them to seek empowerment through self-reliance.
He, therefore, advocated for the government to create an enabling environment for industry growth by offering tax incentives, improving infrastructure, and implementing supportive policies.
