President John Mahama will deliver his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, Thursday, February 27, since starting his second term in office.
His speech is expected to outline his plans for reviving Ghana’s struggling economy, creating jobs, and restoring stability under his “Resetting Ghana” agenda.
With rising inflation, high unemployment, and economic difficulties affecting many citizens, Mahama’s address is seen as a crucial moment to offer reassurance and present clear solutions. One of his key proposals, the 24-hour economy policy, is expected to be a major focus. This initiative aims to boost industries, increase productivity, and create long-term employment opportunities.
Labour unions, business leaders, and civil society groups are eagerly awaiting the speech, hoping for concrete steps to address the high cost of living, wage concerns, and infrastructure challenges.
The Resetting Ghana plan aims to transform the economy, improve governance, and support social development, with key reforms in energy, manufacturing, agriculture, and technology.
As Mahama speaks to Parliament and the nation, his proposals will likely spark debate, with business groups and the opposition closely analyzing his plans.
With Ghana facing economic hardship, many citizens will be watching to see how the president intends to lead the country toward recovery and growth.
