President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says Africa has been blessed with rich natural resources and must make good use of them.
To him, the perception that the continent is poor is far from the truth, reiterating that the country should never face poverty due to its resources.
“We all know that Africa is blessed, Africa is not a poor continent she is too rich to be poor. A continent that has every natural resource imaginable; oil, gas, minerals and an abundance of sunlight. We have some 65 per cent of all arable land available to feed 9 billion people globally by 2030 and our continent is filled with the most youthful population in the world.
"Everything we need to transform Africa into a global powerhouse of the future,” President Akufo-Addo was speaking at the second edition of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues in Peduase, Eastern region, on Thursday, January 25, 2024.
He also emphasized the importance of economic integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
“I’m now encouraged that Africa now has a private sector that is ready, deliberate and eager to see that the 60-year-old dream of the United Africa manifests. The difference perhaps, of the then and today is that the focus is on an area where there can be no debate –economic integration."
“How we facilitate the free movement of people, goods and services across this vast and resourceful mass Africa is what we must devote our energies to” President Akufo Addo said.

Worst president Ghana has ever had. What a disgrace this man has been. Absolutely abhorrent.
We are rich, but suffering because of corrupt and ***barred word*** like you as our leaders.
You are at the funeral of TOR, and yet claiming to resurrect TOR. Seriously this man can insult our intelligence too much. When there was no competitor you couldnt revive it after all the TOR recovery levy we have been paying all these years, is it now you can do something? TOR recovery levy is another money making scheme for some people, but sadly our jourmalists never do any stories on that.
A well rehearsed plagiarized speech. You had eight years to live by your words but instead became a mother serpent of corruption and chief clearing agent.
Do you really need to say tell us that, mr big-head-no-brain? What you failed to add is that those blessings have been supplanted by greedy, selfish,evil and corrupt dealers like yourself whose only goal is to steall and enrich your family and your friends. That is the only think you have been able to achieve in the past seven years you now turn back to say Africa is too blessed to be poor. If you are not poor why are you at the IMF, forcedly giving Ghanaians haircut just to get a loan only to repeat the vicious cycle of stealling? You must bow that bald head of yours in shame.
In 2002, Osafo-Marfo said that in order for Ghana to become a middle income country Ghana, Ghana needed a GDP growth rate of at least 10% for several consecutive years. We are in 2024 and we know that this has not been achieved, but nobody is talking about it. Why?
In opposition John Kufuor, Akufo-Addo and the NPP promised never to resort to extra-judicial killings even if a foreign power asks them to do so. They promised everyone a fair trial before ordering his or her execution. They promised rule of law. Are they taking Ghanaians for a ride? Do they respect the constitution of the Republic of Ghana?
Scammer
Imagine, how can Africa progress with greedy3 guys like you, Nana Addo
