2025 SONA: Mahama Vows to Fix Ghana’s Economic Crisis

The President of Ghana, HE John Dramani Mahama has taken a vow to fix the country’s multifaceted problems, particularly with the economy.

According to him, the country was left in tatters by the previous government.

“I was aware of the huge problem awaiting me on assumption of office. But nothing could prepare anyone for the reality to the depth to which our economy and our governance had sunk… Initial assessment of the books we have assessed we have discovered that our economic problem is much deeper than was previously known.

“We have inherited a country that is broken on many fronts. The profundities of the challenges GES confronting us are staggering. We are saddled with staggering debts and glaring signs of almost deliberate and in some cases reckless mismanagement of our resources.”

However, he is determined to transform the fortunes of the country and reset it on a path of development by the end of his tenure in 2029.

“Today, inspired by the Almighty God and propelled by the massive mandate given to me by the people of Ghana, I am moved to make a similar purposeful and bold declaration that I, John Dramani Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” he said as part of the State of the Nations Adress (SONA) delivered on February 27, 2025.

He emphasized his government has already developed a plan for that.

“I will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and rest it on a path of growth and prosperity. My government working with you and every Ghanaian will solve the challenges because we have developed the plan with our people’s support.”
