President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his administration will resolve the country’s economic crisis before the end of his four-year mandate.
Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his second term before Parliament on Thursday, February 27, he acknowledged the severity of the economic challenges but vowed to restore 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,” he declared.
The President admitted that the nation is facing unprecedented hardships, stating, “The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering.” However, he emphasized his determination to focus on solutions rather than blame.
“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 affirmed.
Mahama also pointed to his past achievements, particularly his success in addressing the country’s energy crisis, as proof of his ability to deliver results.
“I promised to fix dumsor, and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he reminded the nation.
His address underscored his administration’s commitment to economic stabilization and recovery, signaling his readiness to implement policies that will drive financial stability and national progress.
