According to the arts advocate, the completion of the Efua Sutherland studio will have a significant  impact on the cultural landscape and the lives of countless individuals who are willing to contribute to the arts fraternity.

George made it known in a facebook post on June 7, 2023 that  he cannot remain silent while the vital cultural institution continues to deteriorate before the eyes of Ghanaians.

‘The Efua Sutherland Drama Studio was once a beacon of artistic expression, a space where creativity thrived, and where generations of talented individuals honed our skills in music, dance, and theatre arts. Its importance extended beyond the academic realm, as it served as a hub for cultural exchange, community engagement, and artistic collaboration. However, the current state of this once-vibrant institution is disheartening,” he hammered.

The media personality who doubles as an actor and  founder of Image Bureau, opined that ,”The year 2024 will see the centenary celebrations of the legendary Efua T. Sutherland, the great mother of this land after whom the Drama Studio was named. By revitalizing the old structure and seeing to the completion and grand opening of the new one, you would be investing not only in the education and artistic development of our students but also in the preservation and promotion of our rich cultural heritage while bolstering the legacy of Efua T. Sutherland in the annals of our rich history.”

George  further requested the intervention of the President  in ensuring the immediate resumption and completion of the construction of the new theatre as it will go a long way to help the country.
