Deputy Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture Dr Ziblim Barri Iddi has today April 5 launched the 2019 edition of Miss Ghana Pageant in Accra.

Organised by Exclusive Events Ghana and said to be the oldest and longest running beauty contest in Ghana, this year’s imprint is to select beauty queens who best fit the agenda of Miss Ghana Foundation.

The Minister commended Inna Patty and her team for putting up an initiative through which lives of deprived people in the society are being transformed.

He applauded Inna for putting up a resilient spirit and pushing through with this year’s pageant amidst the trying times.

‘’Miss Ghana is our baby. The pageant is as old as the republic of Ghana. We have engaged Inna and the Ministry is ready and willing to partner and support this brand. We appreciate the roles they’re playing to enhance tourism. This is an authentic Ghanaian event we all need to support. It is true that over the years the pageant has gone through its own transformation and challenges but I commend Inna for her courage and tenacity in making sure that this brand exists”. He stated.

Exclusive Event’s Ghana C.E.O, Inna Patty at the press launch reiterated, participants are expected to use the medium to empower the vulnerable and not for their own selfish interest

She added, the essence of the pageantry’s monetary gains have been re-directed to vigorously touching lives of underprivileged Ghanaians and that all who plan to participate with a different agenda should consider a second option.
