President Nana Akufo-Addo has entreated Ghanaians in more fortunate positions to lend a helping hand to the needy in society this yuletide.
He also urged citizens to “offer comfort to those who are in distress.”
President Akufo-Addo made this call in his 2022 Christmas message to Ghanaians on Saturday.
“I urge all of us, to celebrate the season safely and responsibly. If you are in a more fortunate position, remember to lend a helping hand to those who are in need, let each one of us do our bit to help feed those who are hungry,” he said.
President Akufo-Addo further prayed for the Christmas celebration to bring joy to all, adding that 2023 should also usher in a new year of the blessing of growth.
“On behalf of my wife Rebecca – the First Lady, my daughters, grandchildren, my entire family, I send warm greetings and best wishes for the season to all Ghanaians,” he added.
He also called on Ghanaians to be hospitable during the yuletide.
“Let us provide the famous Ghanaian hospitality to the thousands and thousands of people who are visiting us this Christmas as our capital Accra and our country Ghana have become important global destinations for the Christmas holiday.”
“Let us take the time to gather, love, listen and learn from each other and to remember that with the help of God, we can overcome every challenge and achieve every future of which we can dream,” he added.
He was optimistic that the country will rise up again as his government works assiduously to manage the economy.
He however, stated that Ghanaians must be “prepared to make the sacrifices that will enable us to build a happy progressive Ghana we all desire.”
“I am happy that in spite of it all, we are beginning to emerge out of the difficulties which encourages me to say that with hard work, dedication and continued prudence in the management of the affairs of our nation, we will rise up again,” the President added.
