President Akufo-Addo has revealed that he had sleepless nights in the wake of the novel coronavirus, particularly, with the Ghanaian students in China, the source of the virus.
Speaking to Paul Adom Otchere on Good Evening Ghana Thursday, the President disclosed that he was deeply worried and kept pondering on whether to make them return to the country or be confined in China.
According to him, he had the perception that the best thing to do was to confine them in China where the virus broke out however, he wondered what if those students were his nephews what would he have done?
“The students in China…whether they should come or not, I had a sleepless night on that matter. I was persuaded by the arguments that said when pandemics of such nature break out, it is better to confine people to where the thing happened rather than export them and move them around…and I said to myself what if one of these young people were your nephew, son or daughter, how would you feel?” he stated.
