But in 2018, we are coming with supersonic speed&#8221;, he said during a visit to a technology exhibition organised by Kristo Asafo.<\/p>\n<p>His man-in-a-hurry comment was made during his first state of the nation address in February 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The times, in which we live, demand that we, all, be in a hurry to deal with the problems we face&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Government has been keen to point out that it has achieved more in a year than the previous NDC government did in eight years.<\/p>\n<p>President Akufo-Addo is on record as the first President to assemble his team of Ministers within the space of a month.<\/p>\n<p>2017 saw the NPP government on a launching spree.<\/p>\n<p>President Akufo-Addo also launched its flagship agricultural policy, National Planting for Food and Job programme barely three months after the government was inaugurated in January.<\/p>\n<p>He rolled out his government&#8217;s flagship industrialisation plan, One District One Factory Policy,  in August.<\/p>\n<p>It launched its the National Digital Property Addressing System in October after rolling out big bill item &#8211; free SHS &#8211; in September. His critics believe the free education policy could have been delayed for better implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Another major launch was the new national identification card in September. But the delivery on its promise to actually produce the cards for Ghanaians is yet to be realised.<\/p>\n<p>At the technology fair where several government officials joined President Akufo-Addo, he repeated his commitment to move Ghana beyond aid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way we move about begging for money in other countries is not nice. That is not how God created us&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The President pointed out that the way to achieve self-sufficiency, there must be &#8220;masters of technology&#8221; in Ghana and praised Apostle Kwadwo Safo for his trail-blazing feats.<\/p>\n<p>The preacher and inventor has said he is the &#8220;only man on earth capable of producing metals from seashells and palm husk making metals renewable&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>His automobile manufacturing line in Ghana has attracted some international attention.<\/p>\n<p>His Kantanka range of cars includes both saloon and 4-wheel drives. There is an SUV called the Nkunimdie. There are the Kantaka Onantefuo 4&#215;4 pickup and the Kantanka Opasuo range as well as the Otumfo SUV<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Sunday, 31 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-31 President Akufo-Addo President Nana Akufo-Addo has expressed his 2018 resolve to quicken the pace at which his government delivers on it 2016 electoral promises. &#8220;2017 I said I was a man in a hurry.
