President Akufo-Addo has painted a bright picture about the fortunes of the country going forward.
He noted that despite the challenges that have plagued the country during his administration, the best is yet to come.
President Akufo-Addo said this when he delivered his final State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on January 3.
“Mr. Speaker, as I prepare to leave office on 7th January 2025, I do so with immense gratitude for the trust and confidence the people of Ghana have placed in me over the last eight years. It has been the highest privilege of my life to serve as President of this great nation. I have done so with unwavering commitment, boundless energy, and a deep love for Ghana,
always guided by the belief that our nation’s best days lie ahead,” he stated.
The outgoing President added that, “Together, we have weathered storms, celebrated victories and laid the foundation for a brighter, more prosperous future. Reflecting on this journey, I am filled with pride for what we have
accomplished.
He cited key sectors of the economy where, according to him, implemented policies have transformed.
“… in education and healthcare to the strides in agriculture, digitilisation, energy, governance, infrastructure, industry and trade, these achievements are not mine alone, they also belong to every Ghanaian who has contributed to the collective
effort of nation-building. We have demonstrated that, through unity, resilience and determination, we can overcome even the greatest challenges. I am confident that the progress we have made will inspire future generations to dream bigger, aim higher, and achieve more for our beloved Ghana,” he hoped.
President Akufo-Addo said he is certain that the country will go from strength to strength, and that “freedom and justice
has taken hold forever in our body politic.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am happy to hand over a Ghana that is safe, secure, united and firmly rooted in her attachment to democratic principles and respect for the rule of law—a nation that continues to shine as a beacon of peace and stability in an often-troubled Africa and an uncertain world. I leave behind a Ghana that is thriving, one that has navigated significant global challenges with remarkable tenacity, whose economy is steadily rebounding, and whose institutions are operating effectively.
It is a Ghana where the youth are being empowered with opportunities to channel their energies into meaningful and productive endeavours, where the arts are beginning to flourish, and where the elderly can grow old in safety and dignity, and continue to make meaningful contributions to society. I leave behind a Ghana that is working,” President Akufo-Addo said.
