Rawlings gives millennium New Year message

Accra (Greater Accra) 3 Jan. 2000 - The President, Flight-Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, has expressed the belief that with God's guidance, Ghanaians would witness unprecedented peace and prosperity in the new millennium.

In a message on Saturday to mark the New Year and the new millennium, he said that after nearly half a century of independence, the foundation has been laid for the economic and political stability of the country.

President Rawlings noted that these objectives could only be achieved if all stakeholders, both nationals and non-Ghanaians, continue to unite, work hard and allow the lessons of the nation's political and economic experience to guide them.

On behalf of the government, himself and his family, he wished Ghanaians a happy and prosperous New Year.
