Ghana Tourism Authority Engages Mr. Eazi Over Proposed $2 Million Events Centre

The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has formally reached out to Nigerian music star and entrepreneur Mr. Eazi following his public proposal to contribute an initial US$2 million towards the development of an ultra-modern indoor-outdoor events centre in Ghana.

The confirmation was made by the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the GTA, Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). According to him, the Authority has initiated engagement with the artiste and expressed appreciation for his interest in supporting Ghana’s creative and tourism infrastructure.

Mr. Eazi first floated the idea during a live performance at the just-ended Detty Rave Concert in Accra, where he highlighted the need for a world-class venue capable of hosting large-scale concerts, festivals and international events. His proposal forms part of a broader private sector-led vision to strengthen Ghana’s position as a leading entertainment and cultural destination in Africa.

The announcement sparked widespread discussion across social media, with many creatives and industry stakeholders welcoming the move as a timely intervention to address the long-standing lack of purpose-built, large-capacity event venues in the country.

The proposed indoor-outdoor events centre is expected to support year-round programming, improve event safety and logistics and attract more international acts and festivals to Ghana, boosting tourism, job creation and the creative economy.
