President Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to adapt and find new opportunities because some jobs that were lost due to COVID-19 will never come back.
Lots of jobs and businesses collapsed when the pandemic surfaced and that has led to lots of people being unemployed.
The President says instead of crying over spilt milk, it will be best if we put in efforts to create new jobs so the economy will get back to its feet.

We want as a country to get ourselves in a position where we depend less on outside for our sustenance, that is the fundamental goal".
