The move “Ghana beyond aid” is being driven by President Nana Akufo-Addo, who wants the country to use its vast natural resources to fund its development. “We are under no illusion that this is easier said than done,” the Vice President told delegates at the two-day Ghana Investment and Opportunities Summit 2018, held in London. He said, to achieve a Ghana less dependent on aid for its development, there would be a need to build “some long-term pillars”. Vice President Bawumia told prospective investors at the Summit: “We are with you here in the UK for strategic reasons”.
