President John Mahama is set to deliver his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, February 27, 2025, as scheduled by Parliament.
The address, which will take place at 10:00 a.m., fulfills the constitutional mandate requiring the President to update the nation on its current state.
This highly anticipated speech will set the stage for the Mahama administration’s ambitious “Resetting Ghana” agenda, aimed at revitalizing the economy, creating jobs, and restoring national stability.
The President is expected to provide a comprehensive assessment of the country’s economic situation, outlining the challenges inherited and the government’s strategic plans for recovery.
Ahead of the address, there have been growing calls for the President to propose concrete measures to combat illegal mining (galamsey), promote sustainable development, and safeguard the nation’s natural resources.
Additionally, key stakeholders—including the Trades Union Congress (TUC), business leaders, and civil society organizations—have urged the government to address pressing concerns such as the rising cost of living, wage disparities, and infrastructure deficits.
The nation will be watching closely as President Mahama outlines his vision for the future and unveils policies to navigate Ghana through its current challenges.
