Prince David Osei to Ghanaians: stay calm, the economy will revive

In a recent Instagram post, the actor offered his support for the government's attempts to revive the economy, noting recent road development projects as a significant step forward.

He admitted that the economic upheaval is a worldwide phenomena, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that Ghana is not alone in its difficulties.

He noted that even established countries such as the United Kingdom are having economic troubles, and that corporations such as Shell PLC, Guinness Ltd, and Microsoft are leaving from neighboring Nigeria owing to financial difficulties.

He wrote: “This is incredibly beautiful. The road construction is impeccable. I live in East Legon, and with this new road connecting from School Junction through Trassacco to the motorway, I won’t have to wake up at 5.30 am every morning just to beat the East Legon traffic. Impressive work by the government. Not everything has been perfect with this administration, but at least we are seeing some positives. The global economic crisis is being felt worldwide, and it’s not easy. However, I firmly believe that our economy will recover. Companies like Shell PLC, Guinness Ltd and Microsoft are moving out of neighbouring Nigeria due to the bad exchange rate and economy. The United Kingdom is slowly recovering from a partial recession, and inflation is high everywhere, causing the prices of goods to skyrocket. There is no magic solution.

The actor underlined the importance of collaborative work and responsible citizenship in building the nation, urging Ghanaians to support the government's measures and believe in its abilities to get the economy back on track.

“We all need to work together to build our nation. Let’s be responsible and accountable citizens. Better days are ahead for Ghana. Good morning.”
