President John Dramani Mahama will on Thursday, February 27, 2025, deliver a message to Parliament on the State of the Nation in accordance with Article 67 of the Constitution.
Minister of State in charge of Government Communication Felix Kwakye Ofosu, disclosed that the address will focus on the true state of Ghana’s current economic situation, detailing the legacy of the previous administration and the government’s roadmap to renew investor confidence for accelerated growth.
“It will also set the stage for critical economic discussions, including the upcoming National Economic Dialogue, scheduled for March 3-4, 2025,” he added.
He cited Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson, who stated, “The economic situation is dire, and the numbers are even worse than we realized during the election period.”
The first State of the Nation Address since President Mahama’s re-election is expected to highlight the factors behind his decision to fulfill his pledge to cut public spending.
It will also shed light on emerging scandals in key sectors of the economy as newly appointed government officials assume their roles.
Public interest is high following President Mahama’s promise to reset Ghana through responsible governance, recovering loot and stolen assets, and restoring faith in leadership by strengthening institutions to uphold accountability and transparency.
