President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to continue to support the government's mandate in the ongoing efforts to revive the economy.

He reiterated that his government will honour promises made to revive the economy.

Speaking at the Eid-ul-Adha celebration, President Akufo-Addo expressed confidence in his government's ability to bring about significant progress in the country.

“Muslim faithful, fellow Ghanaians, in the spirit of Eid, I asked you to continue to support the government, your government to deliver the needed progress and prosperity that we all seek."

He also affirmed his promise to bring the economy back to life.

“I said in the height of the Covid-19 pandemic that we do not know how to bring back lives, but we know how to bring the economy. I stand by those words. We're working to restore the economy to full health and Inshallah, we shall do so.”

In a related development, the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, has prayed that Allah bestows wisdom on the leaders of Bawku in the Upper East Region to ensure that the conflict in the community is resolved amicably.

Speaking at the Eid-al-Adha celebration on June 28, he said the protracted conflict was a major concern since it has the ability to derail the peace the country has enjoyed.

Saying a prayer through his aide, he said “On this special occasion, I commit the whole nation to the care of Allah. Allah has kept order in our country and given us peace.

“We ask him to enhance peace and harmony. The situation in Bawku is of concern to us. We ask Almighty Allah to bring his peace to Bawku.”
