He shared President Akufo-Addo’s post on his Facebook page “On Friday, 3rd February 2023, I received English actor Idris Elba OBE at the Jubilee House of the Nation’s Presidency as part of efforts to promote the “Beyond Return” initiative of Africans in the Diaspora and those of African descent. The time has come to engage all individuals more positively in areas such as trade and investment cooperation, and skills and knowledge development.
Idris Elba, once described as the sexiest man alive, discussed plans to build film studios across Africa and the need for a comprehensive plan to bring Ghana to the fore in terms of film making.
Before visiting Ghana, the actor visited Tanzania where he held talks with President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
