The “ACCRA INVASION PROJECT” (AIP), is propelled exclusively by grassroots support, unaided by government or elite backing.
This self-funded endeavor seeks to inspire and equip Ghana's youth while stimulating employment within the arts industry, a neglected sector in Ghana. I encourage Ghanaian youths to transcend political affiliations and cultivate self-reliance.
