The official launch of the March 2023 edition of Heritage Month, promoted by Citi TV, took place yesterday.
The month-long commemoration was launched at the forecourt of Citi TV at Tesano in Accra. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Minister of Information, Juliet Yaa Asantewa, Akwasi Agyeman, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, representatives from the European Union in Ghana, management, and personnel from Citi TV and Citi FM were among the dignitaries present.
Heritage Month is an educative, entertaining and fun-filled month-long celebration dedicated to showcasing Ghana’s rich culture on Citi TV and Citi FM.
Ghanaians will have various reasons to feel proud of their culture during the month-long remembrance.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the information minister, announced the event on Monday, February 13, 2023. He praised Citi TV and Citi FM for advancing the nation’s domestic tourism goal.
“This year, it’s exciting to see that, as we collectively strive to push the tourism potential of the country, you [Citi TV and Citi FM] are already pushing the domestic tourism agenda a notch higher with the Heritage Month. I want to commend you for doing that. My expectation is that, a lot of our colleagues who watch and listen will take their loved ones to visit Ghana, as you tour Ghana. I want to congratulate you and celebrate you.” He said
A schedule of historically and culturally significant events will be held throughout the month of March to commemorate the month through, among other things, food, traditions, music, and fashion.
Furthermore, topics and locations of cultural importance will be featured on Citi TV and Citi FM’s Heritage On-Air-Series.
It begins on February 27, 2023, and will last through the end of March. It is themed: “Make it Ghana”.
Part of the events is the trip of a lifetime – ‘Heritage Caravan’ which helps patrons to discover Ghana in seven fantastic days from March 4 – 11, 2023.
Between March 25-26, 2023, there will be the “Back to your Village” Food Bazaar’ – a two-day fair displaying indigenous food and beverages.
The Heritage Month organised by Citi TV and Citi FM is in partnership with Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), the National Film Authority, and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
