As Ghana marks 60 years of its national currency, the Minority in Parliament has called for former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to be acknowledged for his contributions to the stability of the Ghana Cedi.
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, Second Deputy Minority Whip Jerry Ahmed Shaib emphasized that 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.
Shaib specifically highlighted former President Akufo-Addo, who served two terms in office, noting that his policies and leadership had a significant impact on the currency’s stability.
The Minority’s call reflects a broader push to recognize the collective efforts of successive governments in maintaining the Cedi’s resilience amid economic challenges, underscoring the currency’s symbolic and practical importance to Ghana’s sovereignty and economic stability.
