The Company disclosed that in the first quarter of the year, they intended to partner EM Production and Adanfopa Media in France for an Europe Tour (Finest Tour).
“Not limited to Europe, there would be an African tour with some Ghanaian artistes and other people in the creative space in the last quarter of the year” manager said.
Additionally, they indicated that Bison would be launching a non-governmental organisation, Foundation and Social Corporate Responsibility Projects in the second quarter of 2023.
According to them, the third quarter will see a seminar organised by Bison at a University in Ghana and other tertiary institutions and a support for underprivileged schools.
Touching on the decision to venture into the entertainment industry, Henry Raphael Kemausuor, the General Manager of Bison Imperial Global Shipping and Logistics highlighted the role of the arts in socio-economic development.
“We have identified that the entertainment industry can change the ideology of a country.
