This makes him one of the few persons to be nominated every year, except 2019, for the prestigious award since its inception in 2017.
Mr. Danso’s uniqueness in altering societal ills and giving hope to the hopeless with drama, interspersed with comedy through his company, Echoes Productions, many believe, have inspired several lives.

The exception with which they tell ordinary stories, make them unique, earning them the accolade, memories worth repeating.
