The conference is to be held at the University of Ghana from 9-12 July 2019.
Since he assumed office on 7 January 2017, Dr. Bawumia’s tenure has been defined by the astute leadership he has shown in influencing the development and execution of economic policies that have elevated Ghana’s economic position on the continent.
