President Akufo-Addo has openly recognized the challenges his administration has faced in managing the Ghanaian economy, leading to significant hardships for the population.
In his recent State of the Nation Address delivered in Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, the President emphasized the importance of acknowledging these difficulties as a means to reignite the Ghanaian spirit of resilience and determination to work towards a brighter future.
Despite the obstacles encountered in the past, President Akufo-Addo remains hopeful about Ghana’s current path towards economic recovery.
He called upon citizens to maintain trust in the government and to actively support its policies aimed at easing the burdens faced by all individuals.
“Mr. Speaker, we stumbled, but we are rising again. We were bruised, but we are healing. We have recovered our footing. We have dusted ourselves off, and now we face tomorrow with confidence.
“Every day we pray and hope that adversity may spare our families, our communities and our dear nation.”
“But should we be confronted by misfortune; we must face it like people with a proud history who fight and do not flee. Yenim ko; yen nim adwane. That is the Ghanaian spirit. That is our armour and our shield. This is our ethos,” he said.
