They said government under President Akufo-Addo would endeavour to fulfil its campaign promises and all must endeavour to contribute his/her quota as a citizen of the country. This was made known to the Ghana News Agency on Saturday during the investiture of President Akufo-Addo.

Mr Daniel Yeboah Hiennoh, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Manager of the Presbyterian Educational Unit, said all must complement government’s effort in harnessing the socio-economic potentials of Ghanaians to create more jobs in the society.

He said there is the need for “all of us to be self-disciplined and law-abiding citizens” since those virtues did not promote or encourage corrupt practices. Mr Hiennoh also called on former President John Dramani Mahama to act as a true statesman and contribute objectively for the good governance of the nation.

Ms Agnes Pomaah, an iced-water seller, reminded the President Akufo-Addo to stick to his promise of building a strong and resilient economy to create avenues for job opportunities to reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.

Mr Thomas Owusu Ansah, a cobbler, said there is the need for government to establish more agro-processing industries, especially in the rural areas to prevent the wastage of foodstuffs in the country.
