VGMA Board’s Decision to Address Grievances a Step Towards a Better Ghana Music Industry

 

The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) is one of the most prestigious music awards in Ghana, celebrating the best in Ghanaian music. Recently, the VGMA announced their nominations, inviting the public to come forward with any grievances they had with the list. One such challenge was made by an individual questioning the eligibility of Jay Bahd in the new artiste of the year category.

The VGMA board has today made a press release, stating that they have considered the concerns raised and have decided to take Jay Bahd out of the new artiste of the year category. This decision by the board is commendable and shows that they are committed to ensuring fairness and integrity in the award process.

It is essential for award shows like the VGMA to have transparent and credible processes in place to ensure that deserving artists are recognized for their hard work and talent. The board’s decision to take Jay Bahd out of the category is a step in the right direction towards building trust in the Ghana music industry.

However, this should not be the end of the board’s efforts to improve the Ghana music industry. They should continue to listen to the concerns of the public and take proactive steps to address them. This could include setting up a transparent and accountable nomination process, providing opportunities for emerging artists, and promoting the development of the music industry.

In conclusion, the decision by the VGMA board to take Jay Bahd out of the new artiste of the year category is a welcome development, and it is a step towards building a better Ghana music industry. We commend the board for listening to the concerns raised, and we urge them to continue their efforts to promote fairness, transparency, and growth in the industry.
