Reggae-dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has shared his thoughts on the government’s plan to rename Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport, urging that any such decision must have a strong national justification.
On the sidelines of the Africa Prosperity Dialogue in Accra, the Bhim Nation leader acknowledged that the airport’s current proposal is not entirely new.
“It used to be called Accra International Airport anyway, so when the name goes back, for whatever reason, I would believe that the reasons are clear, the reasons are politically accurate, and are very nationalistic, I would believe so,” he said.
Stonebwoy stressed that a name change should come with tangible benefits for the country and enhance Ghana’s international image. “But should this change and it doesn’t reflect any upliftment, then I think I wouldn’t side with that. But if it’s going to reflect upliftment and uplift a positive narrative about this nation, I’m for that.”
