The people of Ghana have been assured by President Akuffo-Addo that the government is fully committed to finding solutions to the problems the country is currently experiencing.
Speaking on Sunday, February 12, 2023 at the 18th Consultative Council Meeting of the Anglican Church, the President acknowledged that difficult times are currently facing Ghana and the entire world, but he is confident that with God’s assistance and collective sacrifices, the challenges will be successfully overcome.
“With the help of Almighty God, and backed by a sense of determination, hard work and collective sacrifices on our part, I am confident that we will successfully confront the difficulties, bring relief to the Ghanaian people, and return the economy back to the high rates of growth that characterized the management of our economy in the three (3) years preceding the COVID outbreak in 2020 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” President Akufo-Addo mentioned.
The President welcomed the Anglican Consultative Council and the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, to Ghana and praised the contribution of the Anglican Church to the growth and development of the country.
He also commended the development of an insurance brokerage and the Church’s financial sustainability strategy, which aims to make the Church more self-sufficient.
“These and other projects being embarked on by various Dioceses are contributing positively towards Ghana’s economic growth and the creation of jobs in various communities. Government stands ready to partner and support the various initiatives of the Church, especially those in line with the directive principles of state policy, to help develop a progressive and prosperous Ghana,” Akuffo Addo emphasized.
President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his commitment to successfully addressing Ghana’s challenges and providing relief for the people of Ghana.
