President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his administration is committed to resolving the country’s economic crisis before the end of his four-year term.
Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his second term to Parliament on Thursday, February 27, Mahama acknowledged the severity of the economic challenges but pledged 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 did not shy away from the reality of the situation, admitting, “The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships.” However, he emphasized his 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 stated.
Highlighting his track record, Mahama reminded Ghanaians of his success in addressing the country’s past energy crisis.
“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he said confidently.
Mahama’s address reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to economic stabilization and recovery, outlining policies aimed at steering the nation toward financial stability and long-term development.
