President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, nearing the end of his presidency, has declared confidence in the nation’s progress, stating he is leaving behind “a Ghana that is working”.
Speaking during his final State of the Nation Address in Parliament on January 3, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the progress Ghana has made under his leadership.
He highlighted transformative policies in education, healthcare, agriculture, digitization, energy, governance, infrastructure, and trade as key to reshaping the nation and building resilience among its people.
“These achievements are not mine alone. They also belong to every Ghanaian who has contributed to the collective effort of nation-building. We have demonstrated that, through unity, resilience, and determination, we can overcome even the greatest challenges,” the President said.
He expressed hope for Ghana’s future, emphasizing the country’s economic recovery, strong institutions, and stable democracy. He pointed to youth empowerment, a vibrant arts scene, and the protection of the elderly as clear signs of a nation on the right track.
“I am happy to hand over a Ghana that is safe, secure, united, and firmly rooted in democratic principles and respect for the rule of law. It is a Ghana that has navigated significant global challenges with remarkable tenacity, whose economy is steadily rebounding, and whose institutions are operating effectively. I leave behind a Ghana that is working,” he stated.
