President Akufo-Addo has appealed to Ghanaians to celebrate the Easter festivities responsibly and in safety despite the lifting of restrictions imposed as part of measures to contain the Coronavirus pandemic.
This is the first Easter in three years to be celebrated fully following the lifting of Covid restrictions.
In an Easter message to Ghanaians, the President advised road users, especially drivers to be responsible on the road.
”I appeal to all of you, notwithstanding the lifting of the restrictions and the good news about infections, to continue to live responsibly and safely, so we can all play our part in building mother Ghana. Therefore, in this season, let us drive carefully on the roads and keep the nation in our prayers at all times,” the President implored.
He encouraged Ghanaians to continue to have hope for a great time soon for the country.
He said the Government is working hard to restore the country to the path of growth and prosperity.
President Akufo-Addo was confident that with hard work and perseverance, Ghana will overcome the current hitches, saying the future is bright.
”Government is working hard to restore our nation back onto the path of progress and prosperity – a path on which our nation was charting before the onset of COVID-19, whose negative consequences have been further exacerbated by the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine”.
“All these difficulties, notwithstanding, I am confident that, with creativity, enterprise, hard work, perseverance and unity, we, the Ghanaian people, shall overcome, for our future is bright,” the President noted.
Nonetheless, President Akufo-Addo had best wishes for the season.
”On behalf of my wife Rebecca, my five daughters, my five grandchildren and other members of my family and on behalf of members of government, I send best wishes to you from Jubilee House, the seat of our nation’s presidency”, Nana Akufo-Addo said.
