Speaking to members of the Ghana Bar Association at an event  to honour Georgina Wood in Accra on Monday, Nana Addo said "President Kufuor was a man noted for taking good decisions. For the eights years that he spent as President, there are many good decisions that he made about appointments and policies and I think his judgment in elevating Georgina Theodora Wood to be the 12th Chief Justice of our Republic has been fully justified and vindicated."

The President however, urged the GBA members to be inspired and emulate the conduct and principles of the former Chief Justice.

He said "It is good that we have gathered here once again to commend the former Chief Justice and to say that for those of you who are now coming if you behave well and conduct yourself well, you may get some of this honours for your work.

"That must be the inspiration for all of us that if you conduct yourself well and brighten your corner, leave according to principle and ensure excellence and determination in everything you are doing, you peers will recognize and commend you."
