The Minority in Parliament has urged Ghanaians to acknowledge former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as one of the key contributors to the current stability of the Ghana Cedi, as the nation commemorates the currency’s 60th anniversary.
The Bank of Ghana on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, launched a year-long celebration of the milestone at the Accra International Conference Centre, under the theme “60 Years of the Cedi: A Symbol of Sovereignty, Stability, and Economic Resilience.”
Addressing Parliament that same day, the Second Deputy Minority Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, said it was important to appreciate all past leaders who have contributed to strengthening the Cedi over the years.
“I believe that anyone who has played a role in the positive evolution of the Cedi deserves to be commended and celebrated. We have a list of names, and President Mahama is one of them, but all who have served as president since the inception of the Cedi should equally be acknowledged,” he said.
He further noted that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who served two terms in office, should be recognized as a major contributor to the Cedi’s current stability.
