Ghana aims to focus on essential foods for dietary needs, including vegetables like onions and tomatoes, grains like maize, soya, rice, and sorghum, and plantain tubers and roots like plantain, cassava, and yam. The country also plans to focus on poultry, specifically broiler, as a protein source. With a five-year development plan, Ghana aims to be food self-sufficient in tomato, onion, pepper, rice, maize, cassava, legumes, and yam, as well as exporting these crops and poultry.

The Akufo-Addo administration is taking significant steps towards achieving seamless connectivity between Ghana and its neighboring countries.

The NPP government is constructing fiber networks to the borders, ensuring reliable and fast internet services to businesses and individuals in the region.

The government is also promoting a 'roam like at home' policy within the ECOWAS region, enabling Ghanaians to use their mobile devices and data plans while traveling across the region.

This initiative will facilitate intercontinental connections, increase trade and tourism, and promote economic growth and development across the West African sub-region.

Under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo, Ghana has successfully avoided any cases of cholera in the past five years, a significant achievement compared to the previous administration. In 2014, Ghana experienced its most severe cholera outbreak, affecting eight of the country's ten regions.

The outbreak began in June of that year and persisted until 2015, with over 28,000 cases and 243 fatalities reported across all ten regions by January 2015.

Thanks to the proactive measures taken by the current administration, the country has managed to prevent any recurrence of this deadly disease, protecting the health and well-being of its citizens.

Exciting news! The Falcon 900-EX Presidential Jet has returned to Ghana after undergoing a six-month repair in Paris, France. The Presidential Jet is a vital asset for the President and key government officials, used for both local and international travels.

The entire aircraft was refurbished and upgraded, including a retrofit and avionics systems, making it capable of traveling to most European countries within six hours, just as it did before the incident of September 30, 2018.

We're thrilled to announce that President Akufo-Addo will be using the Presidential Jet for his upcoming trips to Munich, Germany, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This photo depicts one of the ten multi-purpose sports facilities being built in the country, the Volta Regional Youth Resource Center in Ho. Out of the ten contracts awarded for Phase 2 of construction, the Volta Regional facility is among the six that are making good progress.

The remaining four facilities located in Wa, Axim, Dormaa Ahenkro, and Dunkwa-On-Offin will soon begin construction after the completion of the first six.

The H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government is making a major investment in the renovation and construction of sports facilities across the nation and is dedicated to completing this nationwide initiative.

This is evidenced by the ongoing renovation of national stadiums, the construction of over 120 astro turfs, and a commitment of $195 million towards the construction of facilities at the University of Ghana and Borteyman for the African Games, highlighting the government's unwavering commitment to developing sports infrastructure.

The Akufo-Addo government has launched a national land reclamation project to restore degraded lands damaged by illegal mining activities.

The project is part of the National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme and involves community participation. So far, 1,000 hectares of degraded land have been restored, and the project has received support from residents of mining communities.

The project has also created livelihood opportunities for youth and women in these communities. Though facing challenges, the site manager is optimistic that the project will be completed ahead of schedule.

FYI

The rumors regarding the creation of a standalone Ministry of Pensions is false.

The government has merely relocated the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA) from the Finance Ministry to the Employment Ministry.

The Minister of Employment has been assigned additional duties related to pension administration, but this does not constitute the formation of a new ministry.

President Akufo-Addo is taking Ghana's industrialization to new heights!

The creation of the $16 million tomato processing factory in Berekum West District in the Bono Region as part of the 1-District-1-Factory initiative is a true testament to the progress being made.

With financing from Ghana Exim Bank and ADB Bank Ghana, this factory is providing 158 direct jobs and over 2,000 indirect opportunities for the local community and boosting the income of farmers involved. The factory will process an impressive 40,000 metric tonnes of tomatoes annually.

Just imagine where Ghana would be if the previous NDC government led by John Dramani had shown even a fraction of the drive and determination President Akufo-Addo is demonstrating.

The future is bright and we have President Akufo-Addo to thank for his unwavering efforts in building a stronger, more prosperous and sustainable nation for future generations. Keep leading the way, President Akufo-Addo!
