to benefit from their pensions during old age. According to the ‘Bo me Nantew’ hitmaker, who also doubles as a staff of Social Security and National Insurance Trust – SSNIT, the benefits of social security contributions for future eventualities especially during their pensions must be taken seriously by musicians as well as other industry players.
