TEMA, Ghana, 28 February: The Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has commended President John Dramani Mahama for what he describes as a strong and reassuring start to his new term in office.
According to Mr. Koomson, the President has demonstrated focus and direction since assuming office on January 7, 2025.
“I like the way President Mahama has started,” he said, noting that the early signs of governance point to seriousness and engagement.
Since his inauguration, President Mahama’s administration has rolled out what it calls a “Resetting Agenda,” aimed at stabilising the economy, strengthening accountability, and providing targeted social support.
Supporters of the government highlight efforts to reduce inflation , which stood at about 13.7% in early 2025, and stabilise the cedi against the dollar. Reports of declining fuel prices have also brought some relief to commercial transport operators and private motorists.
In the education sector, over 156,000 first-year students in public tertiary institutions reportedly benefited from government interventions during the 2025 academic year.
The administration has also intensified anti-corruption efforts, strengthening collaboration with the Office of the Special Prosecutor and implementing the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative to investigate and prosecute alleged corrupt officials.
President Mahama has described his leadership style as one guided by “heart and empathy,” aimed at rebuilding trust between government and citizens. The administration has further convened a National Economic Dialogue to engage key stakeholders in shaping Ghana’s economic recovery path.
Speaking on Ahotor FM’s Yepe Ahunu show, Mr. Koomson praised the President for consistently engaging industry players and organised labour on the way forward for the country.
He revealed that President Mahama has formally written to Organised Labour, inviting them to a meeting at the Presidency on March 17, 2026, as part of efforts to deepen consultation and collaboration.
