President John Dramani Mahama has promised to strengthen Ghana’s dire economic situation before his term of office ends.
He made this promise during the delivery of his first State of the Nation Address in his second term to Parliament on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
During his speech, he acknowledged the severe economic challenges but vowed to put the nation back on a path of growth and prosperity.
“I John Dramani Mahama will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity.”
President Mahama added, “The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships,” Mahama admitted. However, he emphasized his commitment to finding solutions rather than dwelling on the past.
“It is not my style to lament and shift blame. I am therefore not here to lament, even though there is much to lament about,” he stated.
President Mahama reminded Ghanaians of his track record of fulfilling his promises.
“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he reminded the nation.
Mahama’s address outlined his administration’s commitment to economic stabilization and recovery, signaling his readiness to implement policies that will steer the country towards financial stability and national progress.
President John Mahama will deliver his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, Thursday, February 27, since assuming office for a second term.
The highly anticipated speech is expected to set the tone for his administration’s ambitious “Resetting Ghana” agenda, aimed at reviving the economy, creating jobs, and restoring stability.
With Ghana grappling with economic distress, rising inflation, and high unemployment, Mahama’s address is seen as a defining moment to reassure citizens and outline clear solutions.
His 24-hour economy policy, a cornerstone of his economic strategy, is expected to take centre stage as a game-changing initiative to drive industrial growth, boost productivity, and create sustainable employment opportunities.
Mahama’s address is expected to reassure Ghanaians as the country grapples with economic hardship, food inflation, and unemployment.
Also, the President will be expected to address the numerous concerns raised over his decision to terminate appointments made into the public sector after the December 7, 2024 general elections.
The State of the Nation Address, SONA, is vital for promoting accountability, transparency, and good governance, while also setting the national agenda and promoting unity and dialogue among citizens.
