The Minority in Parliament has urged that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo be recognised as a major contributor to the stability of the Ghana Cedi as the nation commemorates the 60th anniversary of its currency.
The Bank of Ghana launched the Cedi@60 celebration on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre under the theme “60 Years of the Cedi: A Symbol of Sovereignty, Stability, and Economic Resilience.”
Speaking in Parliament that same day, the Second Deputy Minority Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, stated that all past leaders who have contributed to strengthening the Cedi should be acknowledged.
“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 further noted that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who served as President for eight years, should be recognised as a key figure in maintaining the Cedi’s stability during his tenure.
