SONA 2025: President Mahama Vows to Fix Ghana’s Economic Crisis Before End of Term
President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to resolve Ghana’s economic crisis before the end of his four-year mandate, assuring citizens that his administration will restore growth and prosperity despite the nation’s current challenges.
Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his second term on Thursday, February 27, President Mahama acknowledged the severe economic difficulties facing the country but emphasized his commitment to solutions rather than blame.
“I, John Dramani Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” he declared.
The president painted a grim picture of Ghana’s economic state, admitting, “The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships.”
However, he assured Ghanaians that his administration’s focus remains on implementing concrete recovery measures.
“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, positioning himself as a leader focused on action rather than rhetoric.
A Track Record of Delivering Promises
Drawing parallels to his past leadership, President Mahama reminded Ghanaians of his success in resolving the country’s energy crisis, commonly known as dumsor.
“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana before leaving office in 2017,” he stated.
His speech signaled his administration’s commitment to economic stabilization and recovery, with expectations that key policy interventions, including those to be outlined in the upcoming 2025 Budget, will set Ghana on a course toward financial stability and national progress.
