Ghana’s best days are ahead of us; let us work together for prosperity, says Akufo-Addo.
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged Ghanaians to work hard to ensure that the country’s crisis-hit economy is a thing of the past.
This, he claims, can only be accomplished through the combined efforts of all Ghanaians because the country’s best days are yet to come.
“30 years ago, we all resolved to build, under God, a united nation based on democratic values and the rule of law. We have made significant progress toward realizing this vision, and I am confident that with a spirit of fairness, hard work, integrity, and reconciliation, Mother Ghana’s best days are ahead of us”.
On Friday, the President delivered an address to the nation commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Fourth Republic.
In that speech, Nana Akufo-Addo preached what he says is the new Ghanaian civilization needed to surmount the current economic hardships and indemnify the populace.
“Even though we are presently confronted with difficulties in our economic performance, I do not doubt our collective resolve to work our way out of these challenges, and put our nation back onto the path of progress and prosperity”, President Akufo-Addo said.
Ghana has reached a Staff-Level Agreement with the International Monetary Fund as it seeks a $3-billion extended credit facility to restore its ailing economy to good fortunes.
This has become necessary due to the depreciation of the currency, high inflation rates and the general rise in the prices of goods and services leading to a high cost of living.
But President Akufo-Addo is confident that the days of ordinary Ghanaians’ woes are coming to an end.
“Let us continue to work to lay the groundwork for the emergence of a new Ghanaian civilization that will give true meaning to the foundational values of freedom and justice upon which our nation was founded,” he advised.
