The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says a billboard communicating the importance of wearing a face mask which also features the president without a face mask will be pulled down.
The Minister, however, asked persons wanting to help in educating Ghanaians on the coronavirus to engage the government to avoid mishaps.
In a tweet, the Minister said government appreciates all who seek to help communicate corona messages at this time. But added that they should do well to engage with government on imaging and messaging.
We have asked city authorities to pull this down. We encourage the well intentioned advertisers to engage with us directly to avoid such mishaps in the future.
