Reacting to the news, President Nana Afuko-Addo noted that “Ghana is honoured to host this year’s edition of the Global Citizen Festival. I look forward to welcoming each and every one of you to Accra, the capital of the country at the centre of the world.”

“We owe it to the next generation to live in a world free from poverty, disease, and the degradation of the environment.”
