First Lady Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to continue to be patient with the Government as it works to make Ghana a more prosperous nation for all.
Citing the free Senior High School Policy, being rolled out by the Government this September as one of the good things for the nation, Mrs Akufo-Addo said the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had good plans for Ghanaians, therefore, he should be given some time to do his best.
“The President wishes good for the country so we should be patient with him and support him to succeed,” the First Lady pleaded.
Mrs Akufo-Addo made the appeal when she interacted with the Chiefs and Elders of Abamkrom and Kumikrom in the Upper West Akim District of the Eastern Region, on Wednesday, in Accra.
The delegation, which was led by Nana Abam V, Chief of Abamkrom, the Queenmother of Abamkrom, Nana Ama Amafoa and Mr Eugene Sackey, District Chief Executive of Upper West Akim District, visited the First Lady to thank her for supporting the District with some developmental projects.
They particularly, commended Mrs Akufo-Addo for rehabilitating the Abam Health Centre, which was in a very dilapidated state, in 2016, thus, making most sick people in Abamkrom travelling long distances to seek health care elsewhere.
Mr Samson A. K. Akyeh, a Principal Elder of Abamkrom, on behalf of the people and Chiefs, expressed appreciation to the First Lady for redeeming the promise she made to Abamkrom during her 2016 Election Campaign tour.
He said: “The Clinic was rehabilitated for the first time by the First Lady”.
He, however, appealed to the First Lady to assist the people to build a nurses’ quarters for the nurses at the health Centre.
He also appealed for the roads in the area to be rehabilitated because they were in a deplorable state, especially, the 10.5 kilometer Nyanoa through the Abakrom to Esaaso road.
Mr Sackey, on behalf of the Assembly, chiefs and people of the town, also made a request for the completion of a surgical theater at Adieso Health Centre to help cater for the many cases of pregnant women who were mostly referred to far away distance hospitals due to complications.
“Some of these referrals end up with complications to the mother and the baby and sometimes death of the newborn baby due to factors such as delay in transporting the patients to receiving points due to lack of ambulance service in district,” Mr Sackey said.
He also requested for a district library and a Magistrate’s Court for the Upper West Akim District, which was recently established as a new district.
Nana Ama Amafoa, the Queenmother, appealed to the First Lady to assist in the mobilisation of women in the communities so they could be resourced and make their livelihoods, which were mainly farming, gari and palm oil making, more viable.
Mrs Akufo-Addo said assured the people that their requests would be considered as the Government endeavoured to address most of the challenges confronting the people.

LONG LIVE NPP, LONG LIVE GHANA! GO MRS ADDO!!!WE LOVE YOU!
When you motherforcking politicians go on campaign you should tell the people the truth. You are now asking for time? By attacking the people with new taxes? By extending the VAT tax base to rake in the poor? By going for another IMF conditions? No country has succeeded through IMF, so your husband will fail like his predecessor.
"Give him time" so you say. Peace be unto Prof Mills, he was horned in five months as "Prof do little" by this same man Akuffo Addo and now he is requesting for more time. The Prez has no shame. Karma is God.
ahhhh maaame rebecca, pls you one first ladies like mrs kuffour ppl respect so dont bring yaself ok, ya husband dont need even a minute more, tell him all we, majority of Ghanaian need is that (1) akyem mafia appointees are too many and getting ***barred word*** , (2) some appointees no part of the akyem mafias are in bed with NDC members ***barred word*** the state and if you need evidence, push A PLUS to the full length before i give you ma source, (3) this is ma part, i did not vote for nana only to make Ghana better, i voted for him to jail corrupt offficials and if now he is of no tangible evidence to, he must come clean. he maust make sure his appointees in bed with NDC are stopped. if he jail the corrupt ndc official, avoid corruption and as has implemented the free SHS,i can vote for him again, by so doing, there will be decipline and a mark in the country and will be difficult for other to destroy but if he does like the others, the faith in Ghana will be no more bcx apart from him and bawumia, i CANT TRUST ANY EVEN NPP GUY again, maay be frimpong boateng and Alan with dan botwe i may trust again. that corrup sports minister of him must be fired, asiamah is corrupt, corrup and corrup, evidence is his own conscience
Talking is different than ruling a nation, the reality is now catching up with your husband who promised to turn Ghana into heaven. from free SHS to free factories to free dams and free millions for constituencies all are in a mess. No vision, no direction. When Mahama was expanding infrastructure you called him incompetent, 4 years is just at the corner, you will tell Ghanaians what you have done with your so called competence.
If High cost of living is improvement then I don't know what improvement is. So far so bad. Insecurity rated high, cost of living rated high, lawlessness rated high, Corruption rated high, Education confusion ayeeee bassaaaaaa. The earlier they sit up the better for them.
nana akufo addo's 8 months is better dan jhon.
We the citizens of Ghana have gladly given his Excellency 48 months to "make Ghana prosperous again" as promised. Ghana can give the President no more time than the 48 months for now. It is up to the President to manage the 48 months. So far, 8 months are gone. There are still 40 months left. We can afford to be patient for the whole 40 remaining months. Rome was not built in a Day. It took the Creator 7 Days to create the Earth. Since then, "Time and Tide" waits for Man. At the end of the 48 months, we the good citizens of Ghana will decide to keep the current administration or to show them the exit. From the way things are moving so far, it seems as though his Excellency is working very hard to keep himself and his party in charge for at least 8 years. The CLOCK is ticking. Tick tock tick tock tick tock ...
We trust him deliver so no problem. within 8months we see improvement than someones 8years
