Ahiagbah wrote, underscoring the transformative potential of the funding. He emphasized that this move is a clear indicator of the country’s ongoing economic recovery and growth.
Mr. Ahiagbah expressed his admiration for President Akufo-Addo’s strategic vision and commended the Finance Minister for his relentless efforts in driving the initiative forward.
