President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo decorated in Senegal

Senegal decorates Akufo-Addo with national award
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was on
Tuesday 16 May decorated with the highest national
award of Senegal, the Grand Croix de l’Ordre
national du Lion (Grand Cross of the Order of the
Lion).

Mr Akufo-Addo was decorated by Senegalese
President Macky Sall.

Mr Akufo-Addo’s tour of Senegal was to
strengthen Ghana’s ties with the Francophone
country and officially introduce himself to the
Senegalese president as the new Ghanaian leader.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo indicated
his preparedness to share the experiences Ghana
has gained in the management of its oil and gas
resources, since its discovery in 2007, as well as
the measures taken to ensure the prudent and
effective use of the proceeds from their sale,
with Senegal.

According to Nana Akufo-Addo, “With the recent
discovery of oil and gas in Senegal in commercial
quantities, and with our experiences, I believe
Ghana is well-equipped to share with you the dos
and don’ts in the effective management of oil
and gas revenues.”

He has since left Senegal for Guinea.
