President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his administration will resolve the country’s economic crisis by the end of his four-year mandate.

Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his second term before Parliament on Thursday, February 27, President Mahama acknowledged the severe economic hardships but vowed to put Ghana back on a path of growth and prosperity.

“I, John Dramani Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” he declared.

Admitting the difficult state of the nation, Mahama said,“Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships.”

However, he emphasized his commitment to solutions rather than blaming past administrations.

“It is not my style to lament and shift blame. I am therefore not here to lament, even though there is much to lament about,” he stated.

The president reaffirmed his track record of fulfilling promises, citing his past success in ending the energy crisis (dumsor).“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it.

There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he reminded the nation.

Mahama’s address signaled his administration’s determination to stabilize the economy, outlining policies aimed at restoring financial stability and fostering national development.
