The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has announced that the institution will partner with Shatta Wale’s annual music festival, Shatta Fest, as part of efforts to support Ghana’s creative industry.
Mr. Gyamfi made the announcement when award-winning musicians Shatta Wale and Medikal paid a courtesy call on the GoldBod headquarters on July 9, 2026.
He lauded the artistes for their contribution to Ghana’s entertainment industry and reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting creative talents through strategic partnerships.
“We were considering how we, as a government, can create the enabling environment for you to thrive and support your artistry. I want to commend you for that. The Ghana Gold Board, which I’m privileged and humbled to lead, will do our best to collaborate with you and support you,” he said.
Announcing GoldBod’s involvement in the next edition of Shatta Fest, Mr. Gyamfi said the institution was ready to support the event, describing it as one of the country’s biggest entertainment gatherings.
“With regards to Shatta Fest, count us in. We will be a part of it. We know it’s going to be big because anything involving you and your brother, Medikal, turns out to be big. The last one we saw last year was something else. I think that will pass as the biggest gathering ever in the history of this country. I don’t think any football match or event has come close to that. It’s a testament to the love people have for you,” he stated.
He further assured that GoldBod’s collaboration with the creative sector would not be limited to Shatta Wale but would extend to other artistes and industry players as part of efforts to promote Ghana’s creative economy.
“We are ready to collaborate with you and support not just you but your other colleagues in the industry. It’s all about Ghana, and we’re advancing the Ghana agenda,” he added.
