“Our mission is clear—we want to turn stability into opportunity. We will not just manage the economy; we will expand it to create jobs and prosperity,” he said.
President Mahama assured workers across various sectors, including education, technical fields, and industry, that the benefits of economic growth would be felt at the household level.
“I wish to promise the Ghanaian worker that as the economy grows, you will be the first to benefit. Growth must filter down to the pocket of the Ghanaian worker,” he emphasised.
The President also reiterated government’s commitment to accountability and the fight against corruption, stressing that public office holders must remain answerable to the citizenry. He commended the judiciary for establishing additional High Courts to accelerate the prosecution of audit-related offences.
Touching on developments in the energy sector, President Mahama addressed recent disruptions following the Akosombo fire incident. He disclosed that technical teams had successfully restored full generation capacity.
“Just yesterday, I was in Akosombo to inspect the damage at the VRA station. Engineers from Volta River Authority and Ghana Grid Company Limited have been able to bypass the affected control room and restart all six turbines at the Akosombo Generating Station,” he noted.
The President’s remarks underscore government’s broader agenda of ensuring that economic recovery efforts translate into meaningful improvements in livelihoods while maintaining stability in key sectors such as energy.
