Regina Van Helvert
Ghanaian actress and TV and radio personality, Regina Van Helvert, will be speaking at the University of Ghana on Thursday as part of her social campaign to get students and the general public to use their social media platforms for business purposes.
Some weeks ago, the ‘Heel & Sneakers’ actress had observed that a lot of young people use the internet unproductively, but indicated that it should change to improve the socio-economic development of Ghana.
The seminar will be used to discuss various ways of using the new media and it will be held under the theme: ‘The Importance of Social Media’. The ceremony will be held at the Adum Kwapong Hall.
She will be joined by actor Majid Michel, Sammy Forson, Aaron Adatsi Jason, El-A and a host of others. It will start at 6:00pm.
“I believe social media penetration in our part of the world is still growing and there is a need for us to set standards with it. It comes with business opportunities and we need to take advantage of it,” she once told NEWS-ONE.
“I feel we play too much on social media and also take things for granted. It has become a bullying and trolling tool for some people. Please we shouldn’t just post and like pictures on social media. We should also use it business-wise. Let’s build businesses with the large following we have out there. Companies need that our following to make their accounts fat,” she added.
