Young actor, Abraham Attah who got his break in Netflix movie, Beasts Of No Nation, has been winning since the movie hit the theatres.
He’s won awards all over the world and has been commended by many including the Prsident of Ghana, John Dramani Maham who stated that the young man is the face of Ghana.
The tourism minister also at a forum indicated at the media launch of the 11th Okwahu Paragliding festival 2016 that the ministry was looking at making him Ghana’s Tourism Ambassador.
This generated some arguments with many saying that he’s too young. It seems the CEO of Heritage Development Ghana, Akunu Dake shares the same view.
In a report on MyJoyOnline, Akunu reiterated that even though the young actor has accomplished a lot in this short period of time, he’s not too grounded in the entertainment industry to carry the mantle of being a tourism ambassador for Ghana. he said a hasty decision like this could go a long way to kill the career of the teenager.
He said there are many people who can sell Ghana to the outside world and therefore the young boy shouldn’t be pushed into that terrain since he isn’t fully grounded in the industry.
“I CERTAINLY THINK THE YOUNG MAN HAS DONE QUITE WELL AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED BUT LET US BE CAREFUL HOW WE HANDLE HIM, SO THAT WE DON’T KILL HIS INITIATIVE AND THE TALENT. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN SELL GHANA, ABRAHAM IS A YOUNG PERSON WHO IS NOT FULLY GROUNDED.”
