I haven’t delivered all my promises but 80% have materialised – Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo has acknowledged that while his administration hasn’t fulfilled every promise made, he believes 80% of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) manifesto commitments have been achieved.

Speaking during a tour of the Western North Region on Tuesday, November 5, he highlighted the government’s accomplishments and reiterated his commitment to advancing Ghana’s development.

“I wouldn’t stand before you and say I have delivered on all my promises. That will not be truthful, but I can confidently say that 80% of our manifesto promises have been achieved,” Akufo-Addo stated, pointing to successes in education, health, infrastructure, industrial transformation, agriculture, and cocoa.

Addressing the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, the President emphasized its transformative impact, noting that since its introduction in 2017, over 5.7 million students have gained access to secondary education, breaking financial barriers that previously hindered many families.

He cited this as one of his administration’s key achievements. President Akufo-Addo also expressed his gratitude to the people of the Western North Region for their steadfast support, which he said has been instrumental in reaching these milestones.

He reassured them of his administration’s dedication to fulfilling remaining commitments, despite challenges along the way.
