Former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor is optimistic that Ghana will experience great strides in its developmental growth.

That, he said would be speedily achieved with good economic management, great leadership skills and the goodwill of the citizens.

His comments form part of his Independence Day message to Ghanaians during an exclusive interview with Atinka News’ Afia Kwarteng Asamani.

According to the former president, Ghana is a country whose initial name was premised on riches (GOLD COAST), as such, it gives all indication that the country is positioned for greater achievements.

He called on all Ghanaians to be supportive of the Government to enable the country to continue to experience monumental growth.

The “gentle giant” wished all Ghanaians a happy Independence Day.

Ghana’s 64th independence
