The Minority in Parliament has called for former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to be acknowledged as a key contributor to the current stability of the Ghana Cedi, as the nation marks 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.”
Speaking on the floor of Parliament that same day, the Second Deputy Minority Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, said all leaders who have played a role in strengthening the Cedi deserve recognition.
“I want to look at it from the angle that whoever has contributed to the proper evolution of the Cedi must be commended and celebrated. We have a list of names, and President Mahama is one of them, but anybody who has been president since the inception of the Cedi must be commended,” he said.
He added that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who served as President for eight years, should be recognized as a major contributor to the stability of the Cedi.
