The CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Akwasi Agyeman, has lauded the Second Lady of Ghana, Samira Bawumia, for her exceptional fashion sense, which he believes is significantly contributing to the growth of the fashion industry in the country. Agyeman noted that many Ghanaians admire her stylish outfits and often draw inspiration from her fashion choices.
Speaking at the launch of the West Africa Music and Arts Festival, Agyeman highlighted the impact of the Second Lady’s style on the fashion industry. “We were at a recent program where some designers presented a citation to the Second Lady. They mentioned that people are now patronizing them because they want to replicate what the Second Lady wears. Her style has become a benchmark for many Ghanaians,” he said.
Agyeman commended Samira Bawumia’s fashion sense, stating that it is laudable and a significant contributor to the fashion industry’s growth in Ghana. The admiration for her style has led to increased business for local designers, who frequently receive requests to create outfits similar to those worn by the Second Lady.
The West Africa Music and Arts Festival, currently underway, aims to celebrate West African music, arts, and culture. The event features performances by renowned artists, panel discussions, workshops, and art installations, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the region.
