President Nana Akufo-Addo has appealed for the complete support of the citizenry, as his government continues to implement policies and programmes aimed at developing the country.

He said the Free SHS policy and the full restoration of the nursing and teacher training allowances, which will commence in September is one of the ways to putting the country on the path of prosperity.

The President added that he 1-District-1-Factory, programme for Planting for Food and Jobs, 1-Village-1-Dam, will improve the living conditions of Ghanaians.

According to him, despite the economic mess inherited by his administration, his government has put in place the appropriate measures to strengthen the country's monetary system, to deliver the progress promised to Ghanaians.

He said the Asempa budget has ensured that the country’s finances have been placed on a solid footing, and are gaining strength to ensure the fulfilment of his government’s promises.

President Akufo-Addo said this on Friday, when his three-days working tour stopped at Ekumfi and Awutu Senya West constituencies in the Central Region.

Having annexed Ekumfi and Awutu Senya West in the 2016 election, President Akufo-Addo thanked the Chiefs and people, assuring them that the confidence reposed in him and his government will be duly rewarded with the full implementation of programmes and policies outlined by his government.       

He urged constituents “to support my government because all the policies and programmes we have begun to put it place will benefit all Ghanaians in every part of the country.

"By the end of my mandate in office, I can assure you that Ghanaians will know that I came to tell them the truth and not to deceive them,” President Akufo-Addo noted.

At Awutu Senya East, President Akufo-Addo assured the Chiefs and people that over the course of his term in office, his government will see to the upgrading of the health posts in the constituency, as well as the provision of potable water to Bontrase and other deprived communities.

Construction of a landing beach wharf, as well as construction of the Akotsi-Senya /Bawjiase-Kasoa and Obrachire/Bawjiase roads, the President assured, will be done.

President Akufo-Addo, therefore, appealed for the support of the people of Senya Beraku, adding that “support me fully, so I can work to fulfill the pledges I made to you. Let me reiterate that Ghana is not a poor country. We are a rich nation. With good policies, we are going to bring wealth and prosperity to every part of this country.”
