The national economy will be Akufo-Addo’s major challenge. Oil reserves were discovered off the coast of Ghana in 2007, but Ghanians struggle to obtain food and day-to-day services.
Rolling blackouts are common and citizens often stand in long line to obtain products.

A largely incorrect passage, Ghanaian twitter were furious and started applying pressure on the network, spawning the #CNNGetItRight. Thousands of Ghanaians expressed their displeasure at the negative portrayal of the country all across the micro blogging site.
