NPP 2020 Manifesto

President Nana Akufo-Addo is seeking a second term in government and has commenced his campaign journey to solicit votes from Ghanaians.

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Saturday, August 22, 2020 launched their manifesto in Cape Coast, Central Region.

The manifesto highlighted the development projects initiated and completed in the first term of the Akufo-Addo administration.

Snippets of the manifesto indicated that the government has undertaken over 17000 infrastructure projects and completed more than 8000 with the rest at various levels of completion.

The ruling party has also assured Ghanaians that, in next four years, all tertiary students will be able to access student loans without a guarantor, construct Senior High Schools (SHSs) in all 16 regions in Ghana and provide free wifi in all Senior High Schools and tertiary institutions in Ghana among many other promises.

God bless Nana Addo

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', the Ashanti Regional Minister prayed God's enormous blessings upon the President of the Republic.

He asked for the President to be blessed due to his social interventions with particular emphasis on his free SHS policy.

He noted that the free SHS policy has liberated a lot of families from having to bear the financial pressures in sending their children to school and believed the beneficiaries will be appreciative of the good works of the President.

Hon. Simon Osei Mensah told some hardships he underwent when he was in the Junior Secondary School and had passed his final examinations but didn't have adequate financial assistance.

He stated that it took the help of his Uncle before he gained admission into a secondary school.

Although his Uncle sponsored him to further his education, life became much challenging rendering him financially constrained and had to sacrifice a lot to complete his education.

He therefore sees the free SHS policy as a great prvilege done to the beneficiaries.

"This is one thing that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has done that, if he doesn't even do anything again, I will still ask God's blessings on him."



He also touched on other sectors of the economy that the incumbent government has undertaken major development projects to ensure growth in those sectors.

The Minister added that the President's compassion for the citizenry is unmatched and was without doubt he will continually do more great things which will innure to the benefit of Ghanaians when re-elected as Head of State.
