ACCRA – Ghana will not extend its three-year aid programme with the International Monetary Fund beyond April 2018, President Nana Akufo-Addo said on Tuesday.

“There is no question about the IMF programme being extended beyond April 2018. We want to complete it and move on,” Akufo-Addo said of the $918 million agreement signed in April 2015 to restore fiscal stability.
