In a significant move, President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dzifa Abla Gomashie as the new head of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts in his recently inaugurated government.

The appointment of the Ketu South Member of Parliament (MP) has been met with widespread anticipation, particularly within the creative arts community, where many had expected this decision. Gomashie’s long-standing presence in both the arts and politics has positioned her as a key figure in the country’s cultural development.

With decades of experience as an actress, cultural advocate, and policymaker, Gomashie brings a wealth of knowledge to the ministry. Her previous tenure as Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts during Mahama’s former administration allowed her to contribute significantly to the growth of Ghana’s tourism and creative industries. She was instrumental in advancing initiatives that promoted the nation’s rich cultural heritage on both local and international platforms.

Industry stakeholders, including cultural commentators and experts, have lauded Gomashie for her deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the creative arts sector. Her hands-on experience and unwavering dedication to preserving Ghana’s cultural identity make her an ideal candidate to lead the ministry and continue its work in strengthening the country’s position as a hub for tourism and arts in Africa.

Her new role presents an exciting prospect for the creative industry, which has high hopes for her leadership and vision in the coming years.
