Nana Akufo-Addo has been invited to articulate his economic vision for Ghana at a Luncheon to be held Houston, Texas in the United States. This follows an invitation extended to him by the United States Congress to join President Obama and other world leaders at the Annual Congressional Prayer Breakfast held at the Washington Hilton on Thursday February 2, 2012. The speech, which will highlight many aspects of his economic policy, will be aired live on Oman FM and Citi FM Stations at 8pm on Friday.

Houston has been recognized as the energy capital of the world given the concentration of the world’s largest energy companies there. But that is half of Houston’s story. The Space City is second only to New York City as having the largest concentration of corporate headquarters. Thus, Nana Akufo-Addo’s invitation to address two events, the luncheon as well as an Executive Dinner scheduled for later that evening, is seen as an endorsement of the business community.

While in Houston, Nana Akufo-Addo will hold a town hall meeting with the Ghanaian Community where he is expected to call on Ghanaians in the diaspora to do more beyond remittances. According to his campaign team, Nana Akufo-Addo is a firm believer in the skills and talents of the Ghanaian Diaspora, and has pledged that his administration would do more to facilitate the return of the Ghanaian Diaspora to help built our nation.

Nana Aku-Addo returns home on Monday February 6.
