Outgoing President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged the nation’s youth not to let fear stand in the way of achieving their dreams.

“To the youth of Ghana, you are the heartbeat of our future. Your energy, creativity, and dreams are what will drive this nation forward. Do not let fear hold you back,” he said in his final end-of-year message to the public.

He added, “Dream big, work hard, and know that the future is yours.”

The president also called on Ghanaians to “support one another and build a country that works for everyone.”
