Akufo-Addo thanks IGPs, two CDSs and Comptroller-General who have served during his period

The Police, Immigration, and Military, as well as the two Inspector Generals of Police (IGPs), two Chiefs of Defence Staff (CDSs), and Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) who served during the time, have all received praise from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

On Sunday, May 29, the President praised them and declared the Covid epidemic to be over.

"I honor the textile and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as the numerous business entities who generously donated money and supported the need for increased domestic manufacture of medical goods. It is important to recognize the dedication of the Ghana Airport Company's employees.

"The Director-General and the Ghana Education Service saw us through the school closings and reopenings, thank you. And thank you to its sister body, the Ghana Health Service and its dynamic Director-General, both of whom gave such impressive accounts of themselves during this crisis.” he added.







He further indicated that “It would be greatly remiss of me not to place on record my appreciation to the National Ambulance Service and its workers. They worked well and we are proud of them. I acknowledge the fact that digital technologies and drones helped very much in getting vaccines and medications to hard-to-reach areas, and I am glad they have become an integral part of our health delivery system.




“If we were still looking for any proof, we found that the high use of mobile phones and the digitalization agenda helped in the surveillance process, particularly with contact tracing and patient follow-up.




“I am indebted to the Ministers of State, officials of the Presidency, led by the Chief of Staff, the Parliament and the Judiciary, and all the members of the brilliant COVID-19 Taskforce. I must make special mention of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who was my reliable source of support in the darkest and most trying moments.”
