In October, Akufo-Addo said he planned to set up an "oil fund" to invest revenues in developing the country's education, health-care and basic infrastructure. Mills went further, calling for the formation of an "independent authority which will account for the oil resource." "We don't want it to be a curse," he said. That curse, or resource curse, as economists call it, describes a tendency for countries with abundant natural resources to be more corrupt, more prone...
