President Nana Akufo-Addo has said Zongo residents have a proud history of contributing to the development of the country.
He said, “We see Zongo communities as a place of great talent which can be harnessed for the development of the Zongo communities and the entire country.”
Nana Akufo-Addo said this an address to mark this year’s Eid-ul Adha celebration, at the newly-commissioned Ghana National Mosque Complex at Kanda in Accra.
The President said the sacrifice of prophet Ibrahim which was being celebrated, “must spur us on to sacrifice for the progress and development of our society in our various areas of endeavor.”
“We must take matters of national Interest paramount in anything we do,” he emphasized.
The President asked the Muslim community to use the period of devotion to “remember our nation” and pray for wisdom and guidance for the government “so that we can steer the ship of state in a manner that allows us to navigate the stormy and turbulent economic and other challenges that confront our nation and the world.”
He affirmed that he (President) was on the side of Ghana and would never act in any manner that would serve as a disadvantage for the Ghanaian people.
President Akufo-Addo urged all in the country, especially the religions, to be tolerant of each other, “so that we can create a free, conducive atmosphere for the development of our nation.”
