President John Dramani Mahama is set to present his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, Thursday, 27th February, since assuming office for a second term.
The much-anticipated address is expected to outline his administration’s vision and priorities under the ambitious Resetting Ghana agenda, which aims to revitalise the economy, create employment, and restore national stability.
Amidst Ghana’s current economic challenges, including high inflation, rising unemployment, and financial distress, President Mahama is expected to reassure the nation while presenting clear policy measures to address these concerns.
His 24-hour economy initiative, a key component of his economic strategy, is likely to take centre stage as a transformative approach to fostering industrial growth, enhancing productivity, and generating sustainable job opportunities.
Various stakeholders, including the Trades Union Congress (TUC), business leaders, and civil society organisations, have urged the government to provide concrete solutions to pressing national issues.
Among their primary concerns are the soaring cost of living, wage disparities, and infrastructural deficits that continue to impact the livelihoods of ordinary citizens.
As the nation awaits President Mahama’s address, expectations remain high for policies that will steer Ghana towards economic recovery and long-term development.
The address is set to provide crucial insights into his government’s strategies for fostering resilience and inclusive growth in the years ahead.
