Nigerian Gospel Singer Pita compares gospel music support in Ghana and Nigeria

Nigerian gospel singer Pita has highlighted the differences in support for gospel music between Ghana and Nigeria. During an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, Pita expressed admiration for Ghana’s supportive environment for gospel music. “That’s one of the things I love about Ghana. Ghana is a country that really supports the gospel. In Nigeria, it’s a little bit different to get corporate sponsorship for gospel stuff, because they keep saying it’s a secular nation, we don’t do this. But here, I see some brands put their names to gospel stuff for us in the gospel space. In Nigeria, it’s a challenge,” he said. He emphasized the need for gospel artistes and Christians in the creative space to develop better structures for their work.
