Welcome, once again, ladies and gentlemen of the media, to Jubilee House, the seat of our nation’s Presidency. We almost missed our promised rendezvous of, at least, two press conferences in a year, but we have made it, and, as the saying goes, better late than never.
Chairperson, Ashanti Regional Minister, Minister for Inner City and Zongo Development, Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Chairman of Ashanti Regional Council of Zongo Chiefs, Ulama, Sarakuna, Jama, Asalamu Alaikum!
I am very happy to be here this morning, and to be in the presence of the men and women whose toil, on a daily basis, feeds us, keeps us alive, and plays an important role towards the development of our country. Without the work of our farmers and fisherfolk, it is certain that we cannot realise the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No.
