Top Ghanaian Afropop and dancehall artist, Livingston Etse Satekla known widely as Stonebwoy, has thrown his weight behind the 2022 Green Ghana Project with a firm promise to campaign massively to galvanize nationwide support for the project.
According to the 2022 Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year at Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, he endorses the ‘Green Ghana’ agenda because “the exercise is a call to save the environment from global warming”.
Stonebwoy made the affirmation during a meeting with the Minister of Land and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, at the sector ministry.
He pledged to use his social media handles which have thousands of followers to raise awareness about the Green Ghana project to help generate interest.
He added that, he has been a committed ambassador for the protection of the environment and will go to every length and breathe to ensure that the government succeeds at restoring the country’s lost vegetative cover.
On his part, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, welcomed the global icon for complementing the efforts of the government and the will to use his far-reaching influence to promote a good cause.
The Minister further described Stonebwoy’s gesture as an “outstanding show of patriotism” and reminded Ghanaians that the bid to protect the environment is a ‘national undertaking’ which should openly and widely be welcomed by all.
“Protecting the environment knows no political, religious or ethnic colourization and therefore should be patronized by all and sundry” Samuel Abu Jinapor acknowledged.
Highlighting the importance of the policy designed by the government to protect the country’s forest cover, he called on the general public to participate in the 2022 Green Ghana project and contribute to its success.
As part of the ongoing project, the Ministry has said 20 million seedlings have been mobilized and are being distributed freely to everyone.
