Government says it has made difficult decisions over the past year to lay the foundation for Ghana’s future development, President John Dramani Mahama, has said.
According to the President, the results of these decisions may not be visible now, but in the future, since they have been designed to guide the country’s sustainable growth.
Speaking at the National Thanksgiving Day event at the forecourt of the Jubilee House to mark his first year of assuming office, President Mahama noted that the outcome of the bold decisions would be a testament to the benefit the nation will derive in the foreseeable future.
“As we look back on the past year, we do so honestly. We have taken difficult decisions, we have undertaken difficult reforms, and we have laid the foundations that may not yet be visible, but are for the sustainable progress of our country,” he said on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
President Mahama added that his administration has restored confidence in the country both domestically and internationally over the past year, highlighting the institutional reforms and a stabilised economy.
“We have prioritised economy stabilisation, institutional reforms, social protection and the restoration of confidence both within our country and in the international community.
“The work we have begun is far from finished, but today reminds us that progress is not measured only by numbers, by charts and diagrams, it is also measured by hope that is restored, by trust that is rebuilt and correct directions that are regained,” he added.
