Rozina Negusei, wife of Senegalese-American musician and entrepreneur, Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam known popularly as Akon, has announced an investment package of $12 million for the Ugandan entertainment industry over a period of five years.

She made this disclosure after a visit to the East-African country upon invitation by Isaac Kigozi, Managing Director of the East African Partners (EAP). Rosina is currently exploring the country together with a host of Turkish investors for opportunities to invest in.

“We wanted to bring entertainment in Africa, we are looking for a hub, a home to be the Africa Hollywood; America became America not because of Agriculture but because of the entertainment industry. If we bring entertainment whether movie, music award, every year, Uganda can become the home of the entertainment industry,” she said.
