President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has outlined his administration’s achievements, claiming to have fulfilled 80 percent of his promises to the Ghanaian people since taking office.
During his “Thank You” tour of the Western Region on Wednesday, November 6, in Takoradi, the President urged Ghanaians to vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming elections to ensure the continuation of his government’s successful initiatives.

Akufo-Addo particularly highlighted the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy as his flagship legacy, emphasizing its transformative impact on the country’s education system.
“The NPP manifestos of 2016 and 2020—80% of those promises have been fulfilled by my government. One key area is education, which is the cornerstone of any nation’s development,” he said.
The President reflected on the situation before his tenure, where over 100,000 students annually could not attend Senior High School (SHS) despite qualifying, simply due to their parents’ inability to pay fees.
Over the course of 10 years, he noted, one million young Ghanaians were unable to continue their education, jeopardizing the future of the youth.
“This is why I introduced the Free SHS policy, to relieve parents of the financial burden and ensure that every qualified student can attend school,” Akufo-Addo explained.
