The group stated that under the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo, Ghana has seen an end to dumsor; the has been a resuscitation of the NHIS; there is Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), which has brought food security; the is 1 District 1 Factory (1D1F) programme, which is changing the face of the country’s industrial landscape; and there is what they term “the almighty Free SHS”, which has brought significant relief to their members.
Honest leadership
Members of the group affirmed that President Akufo-Addo has demonstrated honesty, incorruptibility, hard work and competence, saying these are clear indications that their future social and economic well-being are secured under the able leadership of President Akufo-Addo.

Mrs Akufo-Addo thanked the GUTA Ladies for their support for President Akufo-Addo and the NPP, saying the President has proven that he can be trusted to keep his promises to Ghanaians.
