I’ve fulfilled 80% of my promises – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has highlighted his accomplishments since taking office, claiming to have fulfilled 80 percent of his promises to the Ghanaian people.

During his “Thank You” tour of the Western Region on Wednesday, November 6, in Takoradi, the President urged Ghanaians to vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that it would allow him to continue his successful work.

Akufo-Addo specifically celebrated the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy as his flagship legacy, underscoring its far-reaching impact on the country’s education system.Best online courses

“The NPP manifestos of 2016, and 2020, 80% of those promises have been fulfilled by my government. Specifically, these include our educational system, which is the foundation of every nation.

“Before I assumed office, our children who completed school JHS, every year, one hundred thousand plus were unable to attend SHS. Even though they qualified for SHS because their parents were unable to pay their fees.

“Over the course of 10 years, one million young Ghanaians were not able to continue their education. We were unable to protect the future of the young ones.

“That is why I introduced the Free SHS policy, for the government to absorb the fees, to allow students to attend school.”
