Before President Akufo-Addo completed his address on the state of nation, Ghanaians took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

Although the President spoke of how his administration is working and will continue to work to recover the economy, a section of the users said the President is not in touch with reality as his comments do not reflect what is on the ground.

They noted that the high cost of living is crippling.

President Akufo-Addo today delivered the 2022 State of the Nation Address in Parliament.

According to him, the Russian-Ukraine crisis is having an adverse effect on the country. However, government has taken the necessary measures to mitigate the effects.

On employment and health, he noted that the Agenda 111 – an “ambitious project” meant to address some shortcomings in the sector of health will provide 33,900 jobs for construction workers and 34,300 jobs for the health workers.

Addressing the growth of the creative arts, fashion and film industry, the President said the Creative Arts Senior High School under going works is 70 per complete.

Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu in reaction to the address said President Akufo-Addo failed to reveal the true state of the Ghanaian economy.

“We expected him to deliver the true state of the nation address which will reflect the very hardship and suffering of the Ghanaian people."

According to him, the President does not have the confidence to even to talk about the economy to the state as he filled his address with promises and slogans.

He assured the Minority’s readiness to “debate them and to prove a credible alternative led by John Mahama.”
