A Senior Lecturer at the University of Cape Coast Business School, John Gati, has described President Mahama's address at the UN General Assembly on the economy as timeous and apt. He said the address will give a good indication to the international community that the economy is not doing that bad. Also it will boost investor confidence to partner government to develop the country to become a fully-fledged middle income country. Mr Gati who made the comments in an interview with Radio Ghana added that government needs to reposition itself well in the eyes of the international community to attract more investors. Meanwhile, an International Relations Expert, Irbad Ibrahim, says President Mahama performed well in his speech at the 69th UN session in New York. He said the president did well by touching on most issues in the sub-region. On Ebola, Mr Ibrahim said the fact that President Mahama opted to use Accra as the headquarters of the UN mission on Ebola emergency response, shows that he has already done enough. Touching on Terrorism, Mr Ibrahim said Africa has become a vast pool of recruitment for terrorists. This he said is because most of the youth are under 35 and unemployed.
