He admitted that plastic waste is one of our biggest challenges as a country, which brought about the decision to establish a state of the art recycling plant at Agbogbloshie to help deal with filth in the country.
The address is in accordance with Article 67 of 1992 Constitution which states that “The President shall, at the beginning of each session of Parliament and before the dissolution of Parliament, deliver to Parliament a message on the state of the nation.”
