Ghanaians have been urged by President Akufo-Addo to support his administration in order to end the current economic crisis.
He claimed that his government is committed to improving the issue.
He claims that some of the choices and steps made to address the issues would soon show results for the populace.
The president said that his interactions with pertinent organizations and agencies are efforts to deal with the current financial crisis.
“I know times are hard. But whatever we need to do to bring the nation out of the state it is in is being done. We are confident that we will soon come out of it.”
“Just keep faith with us and pray with us. All will be well,” he told congregants at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana Akyem Abuakwa Presbytery on the occasion of the Centenary Thanksgiving Service and Dedication of Centenary Complex in Kyebi on Sunday.
Recently, Ghanaians received an apology from the country’s finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, for the hardship they had recently experienced.
He thinks it is regrettable that the people are bearing the weight of the continuing economic unrest.
When he stood before the Ad-hoc Committee to hear the resolution of censure against him, he made this statement.
“Let me use this opportunity to say to the Ghanaian people what I believe, with courage, every Finance Minister around the world may wish to say to their people now. I am truly sorry,” he told the Committee.
In other news, the government’s ability to reverse the current economic crisis has been given new life by Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The Vice President cited Isaiah 40:31 from the Bible to assert that the administration will ensure that the economy recovers with renewed vigour and hope in the Lord.
“As children of God, there will always be moments of hopelessness, despair, doubt, fear and uncertainty but our hope in God is always our source of strength and the motivation in these periods,” he said.
The Vice President provided the reassurance while addressing the Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Tema Community 1’s 70th-anniversary celebration.
He acknowledged Ghana’s economic challenges but promised that “we will ride this storm.”
“As your government, we do recognise the difficulties and uncertainty we are experiencing in our country but with renewed strength and hope in the word of the Lord, we are forever confident that we will ride this storm and turn things around to the glory of our Lord.”
