The US Ambassador to Ghana, Robert Jackson has said former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama was a visionary whose exploits propelled Ghana’s Infrastructural development.
According to him, “Mahama had a vision, too, so, I want to give him credit where credit is due, his emphasis was on infrastructure, which is very important – schools, clinics, hospitals, roads, President Mahama did a lot for this country”.
The Ambassador who was speaking to Ghanaweb indicated that President Akufo-Addo is more visionary than other Presidents the country has had in recent times.
He said “I do think that he is more visionary than some recent Ghanaian leaders. President Akufo-Addo’s focus on the private sector and making the private sector the engine of growth rather than government being the driving force is how I see the difference between the two of them”.
He noted that President Akufo-Addo’s vision to strengthen the country’s Private sector will help provide jobs for the teeming unemployed youth in the country.
“Both of them had visions for the country, I think President Akufo-Addo’s vision of private sector-led growth is likely to create more jobs and propel the economy forward faster than the infrastructure investments but the infrastructure investments were important.”
