The pandemic pushed millions more into poverty while wealth of the richest soared – Akufo-Addo

During the United Nations "Summit of the Future" held at the UN Headquarters in New York.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has addressed the widening inequality between rich and poor nations, underscoring that over 700 million people worldwide still live in extreme poverty, deprived of basic human rights. "The pandemic exacerbated this inequality, pushing millions more into poverty, while the wealth of the richest soared.

This is unsustainable, and it is immoral," he stated.

He called for a new global economic order, one that promotes inclusivity and ensures that no nation is left behind.
