President John Mahama is set to deliver his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) for his second today, February 27 in Parliament.
This is in fulfillment of Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution.
The address will set the tone for the Mahama-led administration’s ambitious “Resetting Ghana” agenda, which aims to revive the economy, create jobs, and restore stability.
The President will also use the opportunity to provide an in-depth assessment of the country’s current economic situation, outlining the challenges inherited and the government’s plans for economic recovery.
Ahead of the address, there have been demands for the President to outline measures to tackle the galamsey menace, ensure sustainable development, and protect natural resources.
Key stakeholders, including the Trades Union Congress (TUC), business leaders, and civil society groups, have also called for measures to address the soaring cost of living, wage disparities, and infrastructure challenges.
