Former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, has said that the country will continue to turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial support until it utilizes its natural resources well and pays attention to agriculture.
He mentions that investments in the sector would give rise to giant industries that could make the country self-sufficient and reliant.
“Today, we are at the IMF for the 17th time, and we shall continue to go to the IMF unless we make good use of the matters of the soil, the fruits of the soil naturally given to us by our God,” Prof Oquaye said.
He makes these remarks at the 2023 Akufo Hall National Best Farmers’ Lecture held at the University of Ghana (UG) in Accra.
The lecture focuses on the topic “Resilience, Technology, and Humanism: The Past, the Present, and the Future of the Ghanaian Farmer.”
