Some Ghanaians have given Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo’s government thumps up after almost a year in office.
Mr Papa Kofie, a shop owner at Accra-Tudu, told the Ghana News Agency that President Nana Addo’s governance in the space of a year is unmatched, highlighting the implementation of the free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
He said the government did a great job in paying the debts of the School Feeding programmes for SHS schools and the National Health Insurance Scheme.
“He has lightened the burdens of parents by introducing the free Senior High education. Our currency too has gained some stability if you ask me. So I think he has done a great job in his one year,” he said.
Mr Kofie added that Mr Boakye Agyarko, the Minister for Energy and Petroleum, was his favourite because he thought the minister had done a perfect job in ending ‘Dumsor’.
Ms Juan Owusu, a worker at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, also told GNA that President Akufo- Addo’s government had done fairly well but said that it still had a lot to do in terms of employment.
“Because of the high unemployment rate, our youth are engaging themselves in social vices that in the long run can hinder the development of the country,” she added.
Also speaking to the GNA, Mr Andrew Oppong, a newspaper vendor, said Nana Addo had performed fairly above average.
He said “I admire the way the President tackles issues head-on without fear of criticisms. He always finds time to address every issue he is criticised of and that is the quality that has not been common among previous Presidents,” he said.
Mr Oppong said he would, however call on President Akufo-Addo’s government to make sure the issues surrounding the murder of former Abuakwa North MP, JB Dankwa was unearthed to settle all suspicions.
The newspaper vendor also appreciated the work of Mr Boakye Agyarko, the Minister for Energy and Petroleum, saying he has dealt with the energy crises perfectly.
“I don’t think he has paid much attention to sanitation and transportation. The police extortion cases are even worse than before and bribery and corruption is still ongoing. When you get to the DVLA offices, these ‘goro’ boys still operate. To me this government is robbing Peter to Peter,” one Solomon Acquah, a teacher said.
Edward Mensah, a business man said: “For me it’s been good, especially the introduction of the free SHS policy”
“My favourite Minister is Ambrose Derry, the Minister for the Interior for his role in maintaining and collating with security agencies to curb crimes especially at the immigration.
“But I however think President Akufo-Addo still has a lot to do in terms of his free SHS policy. The schools are congested, dormitories, classes and utility facilities are being overrun by students. I think it is also the reason why there has been so much outbreak of deadly diseases in the schools, and consequently some deaths”, Mohammed Tufailu, a civil servant.
Ajia Lahiru, a trader at Accra, said the President’s performance had been fairly good but would want him to get a permanent solution to traders that sold along pavements.

Waaaaaaaaa, you go and interview die hard NPP faithfuls and come and tell us Ghanaians have given nana addo thumps up. Who are those Ghanaians? Probably those Ghanaians stay in the moon. What is interesting is what the gentleman said about boakye agyarko, that he is his favorite. Favorite for covering up BOST contamination. Dumsor ended five six months into the 2016 election when the Ameri plant arrived. Tell me what NPP has done in one year to end dumsor. People are quite ediots. SHS introduced by nana addo is like helping a blind man to cross the street and leaving him in the middle of the street. He is either knocked down by a car or he had to struggle to cross. Even though the problem is free, parents are now struggling psychological and emotional trauma because they don't know whether their wards are going to die of meningitis because of overcrowding or be sick because of eating poor food. Do you call this success.
I don't blame you. You have some few cedis in your pocket because your party is in power so you can sit by your computer and write rubbish. You and who is satisfied? People like you living in Ghana how can we progress as nation.
Frank, get it in your head that most Ghanaians voted for this government to come and they are the majority and they are talking they are satisfied. Who in Ghana used satisfied for the ndc when you were in power? The Ghanaian people don't like you 'simple' if elections are held today ndc will get 30% the way the people hate you. Ndc are arrogant, selfish, greedy, hat*ful, full of themselves. Power drunk yen tie obiaa, orders from above, intimidating, vindictive, evil, wicked ,insensitive, thi*ves, corrupt with impunity, divisive and very very tribalistic, selective and jealous. All these are the traits of the ndc and who do you think will like people like you, your own founder uses economic association for you which means you don't think of the people but how to get rich and you think Ghanaians are fo*ls? Look at the trend of the 2016 elections so will it be. Tweeeeeaaa! The Ghanaian people are satisfied, even if not anything at all the government is a listening one, when Ghanaians complain of any policy they don't send bull dogs to attack and insult but listen with compassion and withdraw any policy the people reject not yen tie obiaa! Ghana is working, Ghana is in safe hands and Ghanaians are happy. If you want to be unhappy because the government is doing well and your ndc is in opposition forever that's your own wahala who cares!Frank you can't talk for Ghanaians but have every right to speak for the ndc it's nobody's business! We are satisfied for the one year and believe the subsequent years will be more enjoyable. Be in your ndc denial mode, we are enjoying our change. Nana mo opiafo! barima ne nea etuo twiri ne bo. You are taking difficult decisions to help your country. God Bless You!
Check your heading.It should have been 'Ghanaians give instead of Ghanaians gives'.
You went to interview about five people and you generalized their views as "Ghanaians Gives Nana Addo’s Government Thumps Up". Are we serious in this country at all.
