Ghana today sworn in Nana Akufo-Addo as its president for the next four years in a ceremony attended by a number of African leaders, sealing a peaceful transfer of power.
Akufo-Addo, 72, a former opposition leader, defeated incumbent John Dramani Mahama in elections a month ago. Just like President Buhari of Nigeria, Akufo-Addo won on the third time of contesting.
Ghana is half-way through a three-year aid program with the International Monetary Fund to fix an economy dogged by high public debt and inflation.
Akufo-Addo promise to industrial the country by building factory in each of over 200 districts.
