Messrs. Golden Mainland and Uton Engineering, the project's contractors, informed Dr Yaw Adutwum, the Minister of Education, that the project's final phase would be finished in December 2021 and delivered to the Ministry before the year runs out, but that has not been the case.

Dr Yaw Adutwum asserts that the creative industry is flourishing. Thus, fostering and advancing the abilities of young people who wanted to work in the field was essential. According to him, the government will promote the creative sector to expand the economy over time.
