Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, engaged in a significant conversation with British icon Idris Elba about expanding Africa’s creative economy.

In an Instagram post, the Vice President emphasized their focus on financial inclusion for Ghanaian creative arts and outlined plans for a new digital payment system using blockchain technology, aiming to ensure fair payment for artists globally.

Anticipated to launch later this year, the system leverages Ghana’s advanced digital payment infrastructure. Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude to Idris Elba for his dedication to advancing Africa’s creative arts economy.
