Weeks after the observation of the ‘one week’ of the late Ghana Actors Guild President, Rev. Eddie Azumah Coffie, the family members had the opportunity to meet with a section of movie makers together with the Deputy Minister of Creative Arts, Hon. Dzifa Gomashie.

According to him, the actual venue of the funeral will be communicated to the public as soon as the family comes to a consensus with the Actors Guild and the Ministry.

“We already have our venue, but since the late Coffie belongs to a Guild and the Guild want to be involved, we will be meeting the Guild to finalize on the venue,” he said.

The Deputy Minister who led the delegation also made it known to the family of Eddie Coffie that,she worked with the Late Rev. Eddie Coffie in the late 80’s on a couple of NAFTI productions and that; he was always calm and had a very warm personality.
