However, when it came to the economy, the host said that Ghana’s economy is in bad shape, citing high living costs and rising gasoline prices as examples. But President Akufo-Addo maintained that the situation in Ghana is
not as bad and that the current state of the economy is a result of
global events in which Ghana is not in isolation.
President Akufo-Addo was a guest on the BBC’s Focus on Africa program, hosted by Peter Okwoche, on April 4, 2022.
