In a heartwarming display of respect and national unity, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson P. Asiama, on Wednesday, 30th July 2025, led a high-powered delegation to pay a courtesy call on the Overlord of the Gonja Kingdom, His Majesty Yagbonwura Bikunuto Jewu Soale I, in Accra.
The visit, which forms part of the Bank’s continued engagement with traditional authorities, was marked by warmth, mutual respect, and shared aspirations for national development.
Dr. Asiama, while expressing gratitude for the warm reception, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to deepening collaboration with Ghana’s traditional leadership in driving economic education and financial inclusion.
As part of the visit, Dr. Asiama formally extended an invitation to the revered Yagbonwura to attend the official launch of the Cedi@60 celebrations, scheduled for Friday, 8th August 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre.
“It would be an honour for the Yagbonwura to grace the occasion with his esteemed presence,” Dr. Asiama stated. “The Cedi@60 celebration is not just about marking a milestone, it is a national call to reaffirm that the Cedi remains the sole legal tender for all transactions in Ghana.”
The visit ended on a high note, with both parties expressing optimism about future collaboration and the pivotal role of traditional institutions in promoting national identity and economic stability.
The Cedi@60 celebrations are expected to draw attention to the history, value, and resilience of Ghana’s currency, while fostering pride and responsibility among citizens in supporting its sustained strength.
