President Akufo-Addo also affirmed the nationally-acclaimed "fellow Ghanaians" nickname he was given in line with his COVID-19 updates and addresses to the nation.

The president went on to add that he was delighted that even in the face of the scare that hit the whole world due to the COVID-19, Ghanaians still showed creativity.

In other news, the former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Professor Stephen Adei, says Jean Mensa’s competence as the chair of the Electoral Commission (EC) is matchless.

According to him, Mensa is the best EC chairperson Ghana has ever had “in terms of competence.”

To justify his claim, Professor Adei, who is also the chairman of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) cited Mensa’s calm demeanour in dealing with “false” assertions from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
