I’ll be known for helping Ghanaians ‘see the light’ at 60 – Yvonne Nelson

Actress Yvonne Nelson says by the age of 60 years, she will be remembered as the one who made Ghanaians see the light after several decades in the dark.

The actress is one of the few celebrities who has been critical of governments in the country either past or present.

She is credited for holding the ‘dumsor’ must stop vigil which drummed home the need for government to deal with the electricity crisis which was gradually crippling the economy of Ghana.
