I’m keeping my promises - Akufo-Addo

President Nana Akufo-Addo President Nana Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he has demonstrated enough commitment at fulfilling the promises he made to Ghanaians upon which he was voted to be president.

According to him, in his first 100 days in office, his government has initiated several steps geared towards fulfilling the pledges he made.

It is recalled that during the electioneering season Mr Akufo-Addo made a litany of promises to the electorate. Among the promises were the Free Senior High School programme, establishment of one factory in each of the country’s 216 districts, the creation of one dam in every village in the three regions in the North, and the reduction and removal of nuisance taxes.

Accordingly, in his maiden budget statement, the president announced the implementation of some of these policies including the removal of the nuisance taxes and the financing of the Free SHS programme.

Commenting about on his first 100 days in office on his Facebook page, Mr Akufo-Addo said: “In less than 100 days, my government has fulfilled a few of the promises I made during the campaign. #KeepingPromises.”
