The Barbados-based singer and her management also visited the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) Akwasi Agyemang.
Messrs Agyemang and Awua-Ababio urged the 'So Nice' hitmaker to use her influence through music to attract more Guyanese to reconnect with Africa especially Ghana in this season of 'Beyond the Return: A Decade of Renaissance'.
