Ghana’s president John Dramani Mahama has said he is “humbled” by a UN appointment to co-chair a session on Sustainable Development Goals.

Mahama is co-chairing together with the Prime Minister Erna Solberg of Norway.

According to him, the appointment “speaks volumes about Ghana’s leadership on the path of sustainable development.”

“My appointment as Co-Chair of this select UN group also means that Ghana will be able to attract more foreign investments, which in turn will help boost the economy thus, significantly more jobs will become available for Ghanaians,” Mahama said in a Facebook post.

Below is his full post:
