Africa Needs 20 Of Akufo-Addo Type To Develop—Dangote

Nigeria and Africa’s richest man, 
Aliko Dangote has praised the
 visionary leadership of Ghanaian
 President Akufo-Addo.

According to Dangote, the African
continent needs 20 of Akufo-Addo’s
type to develop.

The multi-billion was speaking at a
 forum organized by the Africa Center
for Economic Transformation (ACET).

He said “we do not need to have all
 54 countries to have visionary leaders.
 What we need is a maximum of 20 of
the likes of the Presidents of #Ghana,
#Rwanda and Côte d'Ivoire.”

Ghana has seen increased industrial
activities under the President
Akufo-Addo’s Government’s One
District One Factory (1D1F) policy.

There has been the expansion of
access to education for Ghanaians
at a higher level with the introduction
of the Free Senior School (SHS)
 initiative in 2017.

His New Patriotic Party’s government
has also been working assiduously
 to get Ghana Beyond Aid as well
improve the general business
 environment to attract more foreign
direct investment.

Just recently, the Government reduced
import duties tremendously as a way of
making the country’s ports more
attractive in the subregion.

These and many more policies
including social and agricultural
 interventions including the famous
Planting for Food and Jobs, have
endeared the Ghanaian leader – who assumed office on January 7, 2017 – to
 many people around the world
 including even former British Prime
 Minister, Tony Blair.
