We can build a successful and prosperous country_Akufo-Addo

“We can build and run a successful, prosperous and happy country. This is a task we do not shirk, and which all Ghanaians accept,” the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has stated.
According to him, although Ghana has had difficulties and stumbled in the search to reach its potential since it gained independence in 1957, Ghana has never lost her position as the inspirational leading light on the African continent.
“At 63, we know that we have squandered many opportunities that, properly utilised, would have brought us to the economic breakthrough to which we aspire. We lament, and rightly so, the Infrastructure deficits that plague all sectors of our lives and the considerable number of our people who still live in poverty. But, If truth be told, we have solid reason to rejoice and be thankful to the Almighty. for this is a blessed nation,” he said in a statement.
President Akufo Added that,”The consensus is holding for all of us to work towards the prosperous, peaceful and happy Ghana we want. We all recognise that the responsibility we carry as the first sub-Saharan colonial country to gain independence is not simply to build a successful country. We owe it to the rest of the continent and the black race to demonstrate that, indeed, we can build and run a successful, prosperous and happy country. This is a task we do not shirk, and which all Ghanaians accept.”
