Kumawood actor Yaw Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo, has provided updates on the Creative Arts Senior High School (SHS) project currently being constructed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
He announced that the project is now 85% complete, with only a few tasks remaining before it can be officially opened for public use.
Agya Koo highlighted that this initiative demonstrates President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s dedication to supporting the creative arts industry, despite facing criticism from some celebrities.
He urged the public and his colleagues in the film industry to support the NPP and vote for the party to ensure the continuation of similar projects in the future.
“I am currently in Kwadaso, inspecting this significant project, the Creative Arts SHS, which was started by President Akufo-Addo and is now almost 85% complete. I am here to assess the progress and inform everyone that the president has kept his promises to actors and actresses.
“We urge the NPP to stay in power so that if the current government does not complete the project, the next one will. The construction of the classroom block and teachers’ quarters is still ongoing,” stated the actor in a video shared by EDHUB on X.
These comments are Agya Koo’s response to criticism from celebrities such as Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu, who accused the government of neglecting the creative arts sector. Asiedu called for support for NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Agya Koo is a staunch supporter of the NPP and has actively campaigned for the party in both parliamentary and presidential elections.
