Media personality Kafui Dey has shared bold insights on how the Takoradi Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) can tackle its ongoing “late start” problems, urging organizers to rethink planning and execution if they want the awards to gain the respect and recognition they deserve.
In a candid statement, Kafui Dey highlighted that delays in launching the event each year have hurt its credibility and fan engagement. He stressed that timely preparation is key to ensuring smooth operations, high-profile participation, and stronger audience trust.
“Consistency Builds Credibility”
“When an event consistently starts late or faces delays, it sends the wrong message. People lose interest, sponsors get skeptical, and the excitement fades,” Dey said, pointing out that punctuality isn’t just about timing—it’s about reputation.
Practical Solutions to Turn Things Around
Dey suggested a multi-pronged approach to fix TGMA’s scheduling woes:
- Early Planning: Begin logistics months in advance to avoid last-minute chaos.
- Clear Timelines: Set strict deadlines for nominations, submissions, and event preparations.
- Strong Communication: Keep fans and stakeholders informed throughout the process.
- Sponsor Coordination: Ensure partners are fully aligned to prevent funding or operational delays.
“Make TGMA a Benchmark Event”
According to Dey, the awards have tremendous potential to shine on a national and even international stage—but only if organizers respect timelines and plan meticulously.
“TGMA has the talent and the platform. The missing piece is execution. Fix that, and you’ll see the awards reach new heights,” he urged.
Fans and industry watchers are hopeful that Kafui Dey’s advice will serve as a wake-up call, inspiring TGMA to evolve from a perpetually late event into a flagship celebration of Ghanaian music done right.
Punctuality isn’t just polite—it’s powerful. TGMA’s next edition could prove it.
