Mrs Iddrisu said this in a speech read for her to open the 12th National Basic Schools Festival of Arts in Ho on Tuesday. It is on the theme, 93Bridging Yesterday’s Wisdom and Tomorrow’s Vision, a Challenge to Our Culture”.

The Minister said culture as a reflection of 93all good aspects of our behavioural pattern as human beings and Ghanaians is crucial to building of a healthy and prosperous society”.

She said it was not the fineness of performances at the cultural fiesta that mattered but its 93essence of bringing our children from the regions together to socialize, learn and share ideas about our various ethnic groups, who together form the whole Ghanaian culture and society”.

Colonel Cyril Necku, (rtd) Deputy Volta Regional Minister, said care must be taken to maintain 93proven wisdom” embodied in our culture as the nation visualized the future.
