Akufo-Addo made the statement when he met the Upper West Regional house of Chiefs as part of his “Thank you tour” of the three northern regions.
“I want to work very closely with the traditional authority in the country to improve the governance of the nation. There is still a gap in the formal constitutional structure of our democracy as far as the involvement of traditional rulers are concerned," he said.

“And it is my intention, with your cooperation and help, to immediately after the formal handover of authority, members of my team will sit with traditional authority across the country for us to structure a more involving and more engaging form of governance in which our traditional authorities will play a part," he added.
Akufo-Addo said working closely with the chief "will be a major boost to the quality of governance of our nation."
