President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says his government’s first budget, scheduled to be presented to the nation on March 2, would detail the measures to revive the ailing Ghanaian economy.

“It is only when the private sector flourishes that we can create the high numbers of jobs required by the teeming masses of Ghanaian youth. When the private sector flourishes, then we will be on the sure path towards progress and prosperity for all Ghanaians,” he said.
