Accra, Ghana – President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, has assured Ghanaians that he will resolve the economic crisis confronting the nation and set it on a path of growth and prosperity.
According to him, just as he successfully tackled the energy crisis “Dumsor” a decade ago, he is determined to do the same for the economy.
Addressing the nation during his State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, the President stated:
“It’s been exactly ten years since I stood in this chamber, at this very spot, to declare my determination to fix Dumsor, a legacy problem of power shortages, and Mr. Speaker, I fixed it.”
A Proven Track Record in Solving National Crises
President Mahama emphasized that from January 2016 until he handed over the administration of the country on January 7, 2017, there was no power rationing in Ghana.
“Yes, I promised to fix it, and I did, and I wish to place firmly on record that from January 2016 until I handed over the administration of this country on January 7, 2017, there was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he said.
With this track record, he assured the nation that Ghana’s number one challenge—the economic crisis—will also be resolved under his leadership.
“Mr. Speaker, today, inspired by the Almighty God and propelled by the massive mandate given to me by the good people of Ghana, I am moved to make a similar purposeful and bold declaration that I, John Dramani Mahama, I will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity,” he said.
A Commitment to Economic Recovery
President Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to steering Ghana towards economic stability and sustainable development. Just as he ended the power crisis, he expressed confidence in his ability to restore economic stability and rebuild national confidence.
