President John Mahama will deliver his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) since taking office for a second term on Thursday, February 27.
The highly anticipated address is supposed to set the tone for his administration’s ambitious “Resetting Ghana” program, which seeks to revitalize the economy, create jobs, and restore stability.
With Ghana suffering with economic turmoil, rising inflation, and significant unemployment, Mahama’s speech is viewed as a watershed moment in reassuring citizens and outlining clear remedies.
His 24-hour economy policy, which is a cornerstone of his economic plan, is projected to be a game changer in terms of driving industrial growth, increasing productivity, and creating long-term job possibilities.
Key players, including the Trades Union Congress (TUC), business leaders, and civil society organisations, have already called on the government to present real solutions to the rising cost of living, pay gaps, and infrastructure issues.
Mahama’s Resetting Ghana plan prioritises economic transformation, governance reforms, and social development, laying the groundwork for policy changes in crucial sectors like energy, manufacturing, agriculture, and technology.
Political observers believe that his speech to Parliament and the nation will generate heated debate, with the business community and opposition parties closely scrutinizing his plans.
With the country at an economic crossroads, Ghanaians will be observing to see how Mahama intends to steer the country toward recovery and progress.
