Pray for Ghana to surmount current economic challenges – Akufo-Addo to clergy
Akufo-Addo
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is calling on the clergy to continue praying for Ghana and its leaders in the face of the economic challenges the country is faced with.
Mr. Akufo-Addo says a divine intervention will help the country come out of its current predicaments.
He reiterated his commitment to seeing a prosperous Ghana, where justice and peace are embraced.
There was a downturn in the value of the cedi, with prices of goods and services as well as fuel soaring during the last quarter of 2022.
The Government of Ghana launched the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme on December 5, 2022, which affects Government of Ghana bonds listed on the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM).
The President made the call when he addressed the 28th National and 16th Biennial Congress of the National Union of Ghana Catholic Diocesan Priests Association in Koforidua, in the Eastern region.
“I will continue to ask you to pray for our nation so that we can surmount the current economic challenges we faced together. As the President of Ghana, I’m determined to see a prosperous Ghana, where justice and peace embrace [each other]. But the common good is safeguarding and promoting the nation,” the President stated.

Massive celebrations were recorded countrywide as the Black Stars opened their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto on Wednesday.
Midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi scored the only goal of the match late in the game as he shot in a decent cross from substitute Brandon Asante.
The win gave Ghana a positive start in the competition, placing them in second position behind England, also with three points but with a superior goal aggregate.
After the final whistle, the streets and other viewing centres were turned into partying grounds as fans, mostly clad in the team’s paraphernalia, danced to several World Cup-themed music.
Others blew the vuvuzelas in joyous mood with others putting up a spirited ‘jama’ session.
