President Akufo-Addo will be addressing the nation this evening at 8.00pm.

His address is expected to announce measures by government to resolve the economic challenges facing Ghanaians.

The President put out this announcement on his Facebook page on Thursday.

The address by the President comes in the wake of recent public agitations about the ailing state of the economy.

At the moment, Ghana’s economy is reeling under pressure; a situation which has led to an increase in the cost of living as well as what some have described as a ‘galloping inflation’.

The country’s local currency is also battling a fluctuation against the US dollar and other major trading currencies across the globe.

The address will be telecast on “GTV and on major television networks across the country”, the post said.

However, ahead of the address, some Ghanaians have laid before the President some expectations.

Among others, the President has been urged to be conciliatory as well as transparent about the current state of the economy in his address.

He is also being advised to cut back on spending and ensure that government ministers travel on economy class tickets for the next three years that the country will be under IMF supervision, and that the President refrain from using private aircraft for foreign trips.

Meanwhile, social media users have reacted in equal measure to the President's post.

Below are some reactions:

Of what relevance will this address bring to us. Your response is what u gave to us during your tour in kumasi. You are an unmitigated disaster who behaves like a baby in pampers. The only thing is for you to announce your resignation

Read Revelation 6:6 to understand what is happening in the world. I strongly believe, that Nana Addo and his team were chosen for governance by God's sovereign for such a time like this to preserve us. We would be dead under NDC by now if they were at the helm of affairs.
