President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has wished all Ghanaians a Merry Christmas and has urged Ghanaians to be a blessing especially to the needy.

“So, let us celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ safely and responsibly and avoid doing anything that will put our lives and the lives of our loved ones and others in harm’s way. Let us be a blessing in the lives of those in need,” he said.

According to him, “we have good reason to be thankful to God for the modest successes we’ve chalked over the course of 2019. 1.2 million of our children have today, unfettered access to Senior High School education, the highest enrollment in our history”.

“We have revived our health care system; we have had a bumper harvest for two years in succession with food prices at their lowest in years. Tens and tens of thousands of teachers, health workers, graduates and non-graduates alike have been given jobs. We have retooled and reequipped our police service and armed forces to a considerable extent. Our economy is the fastest-growing economies in the world this year and we are the largest recipient of foreign direct investment this year” he added.

He further welcomed all diasporans back home for the 'year of return' and hope that they "enjoy the warm Ghanaian hospitality and proud colorful heritage...you will always have a home here with us"
