Addressing the media at the launch, Public Relations Officer of Empire Entertainment, Laillah Crystal Banda noted that this year's event will be awesome as it builds up to its 10th edition next year.

“We are going all out to make this year's event a great one as it leads up to its 10th year. Preparations for the event next month started a few weeks ago so that we have ample time to give the patrons a good and fantastic show,” she said.

She told Graphic Showbiz that for the first time there will be other artistes from other African countries performing at this year's Ghana Meets Naija.
