Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
A new headline sponsor for the Ghana Music Awards will soon be revealed by Charterhouse, Organisers of the award program.
In an interview on the Daybreak Hitz show on Hitz FM, Robert Klah, the Public Relations Officer at Charterhouse, revealed this information and gave an explanation for why the word “Vodafone” was not included in the call for nominations for the award.
He claims that the award scheme’s brand will be impacted by the present name change of Vodafone Ghana, the previous sponsor.
He said that until a formal sponsor is revealed, the award program will be known as the Ghana Music Awards.
“The name Vodafone has a time frame you can only use it up to a point. And we are almost at that particular point. So what it means is that you cannot use the name so there is supposed to be a new name that we will eventually use and we will announce that.
“We have an official sponsor just that there is a transitioning happening. So basically, we can only put flyers out there as ‘Ghana Music Awards’. We will announce the sponsor once everything is complete,” he said during the interview on February 1.
Vodafone is currently being transitioned to Telecel, a telecommunication company which acquired 70% majority shares in Vodafone Ghana in February last year.
