Okyeame Kwame’s advocacy gets massive boost as BoG honours Ghana’s heroines

Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame has expressed satisfaction with the Bank of Ghana's decision to feature three notable women on new cedi notes, fulfilling his long-standing advocacy for recognizing heroes. The musician argues that a nation that fails to honor its heroes will have few future ones to inspire. The new notes, featuring prominent men and women, honor Agnes Oforiwa Tagoe-Quarcoopome, Ghana's first female High Court judge Justice Annie Ruth Jiagge, and Theodosia Okoh, the designer of Ghana's national flag.

Okyeame Kwame believes his advocacy has been successful through his music, including songs like "Clap" and "Ayekoo (Big Up)," which promote appreciation for others and Ghana's national development.
