Ghanaians on social media are unenthused by President Akufo-Addo’s address on the state of the economy.

According to many of them, the move which was meant to inspire hope and trigger solidarity rather left much to be desired.

The Finance Ministry is at the doors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) seeking a possible $3 billion in support amid intensifying hardship, skyrocketing fuel prices, a rising cost of living, and a depreciating cedi.

This is why the President considered it prudent to hold the Sunday night address.
