Highlighting some of the key roles Nana Ampadu played in the industry, Obour said; “He has also played a vital role in the Ghanaian music industry like GHAMRO and MUSIGA. Some years ago, he was even the General Secretary for MUSIGA and he did a great job.”
According to Obour, the late Nana Ampadu was amongst one of the few people who have fought for the entertainment industry, more especially the music industry.
“If the country has lost someone as important as this, and it was not even on political grounds, he is well-deserving of a state burial,” he added.
Nana Ampadu died on the 28th of September after a short illness. He was 76 years old.
