Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, commonly referred to as NAPO, has unequivocally stated that since 1957, no president has developed Ghana like Nana Akufo-Addo, not even Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Dr. Opoku Prempeh made this statement at the unveiling of the NPP running mate at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi, drawing significant attention and sparking a lively debate among political analysts and citizens alike.
Reports suggest that Dr. Opoku Prempeh highlighted several key areas where President Akufo-Addo has significantly advanced Ghana’s development. Among these areas are education, agriculture, and road network expansion, healthcare, and employment opportunities. These sectors have seen notable improvements under Akufo-Addo’s administration, marking a period of transformative progress for the nation.
In education, the introduction of the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy stands out as a landmark achievement. This policy has dramatically increased access to secondary education for Ghanaian children, removing financial barriers and opening doors to higher education for many who previously had limited opportunities. The impact of this policy is evident in the rising enrollment numbers and the growing optimism among young Ghanaians about their future prospects.
Agriculture has also received a significant boost through various initiatives aimed at supporting farmers and increasing food production. Programs such as the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative have provided resources and support to farmers, enhancing agricultural productivity and contributing to food security across the country.
The expansion of the road network has been another critical area of focus for President Akufo-Addo’s administration. Improved infrastructure is vital for economic growth and development, facilitating trade, and improving connectivity between regions.
In healthcare, the Akufo-Addo administration has prioritized the construction and renovation of hospitals and clinics, alongside efforts to strengthen the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Employment opportunities have also expanded under Akufo-Addo’s leadership. Initiatives such as the “One District, One Factory” (1D1F) program aim to boost local production and create jobs in each of Ghana’s districts. This focus on industrialization and job creation has been instrumental in reducing unemployment and fostering economic self-sufficiency.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh believes that if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) can “break the 8” – a reference to winning a third consecutive term – they can do even more for Ghana.
