Renowned American Rapper Ja Rule Scheduled to Visit Ghana This Week

Ja Rule, the American rapper and producer, is planning a trip to Ghana this week to kick off a project for building a classroom block.

Ja Rule announced on Instagram that he will be collaborating with Pencils of Promise, a well-known US non-profit organization that builds schools and improves educational opportunities globally.

Ja Rule is scheduled to arrive in Ghana by Wednesday and will participate in a groundbreaking ceremony on April 10 to officially start the project.

The Vice-President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Acheampong, are expected to attend the ceremony. Ja Rule used his Instagram page to share a flyer announcing his visit.

This initiative aligns with Ja Rule’s promise in January 2024 to expand his philanthropic efforts to Ghana. This follows a similar endeavor by American actor and comedian Michael Blankson, who opened his academy in Agona Nsaba, in the Central Region, last year.
