President John Dramani Mahama has expressed gratitude to the labour unions for accepting the 10 percent pay raise.
Delivering his first State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, 2025, after his election victory in 2024, he indicated that this year is a year of sacrifice.
“I am confident that the sacrifice we have all made this year will benefit our county going into the future,” he said.
“Together we shall build the Ghana we all want,” he added.
He also acknowledged the severe economic challenges but promised to put the nation back on a path of growth and prosperity.
“I, John Dramanai Mahama, will fix the economic crisis confronting our country and reset it on a path of growth and prosperity.”
“The state of the nation is not good. Our economy is in crisis, and the people of Ghana are suffering unprecedented hardships,” Mahama admitted. However, he emphasised his commitment to finding solutions rather than dwelling on the past.
“It is not my style to lament and shift blame. I am therefore not here to lament, even though there is much to lament about,” he stated.
“I promised to fix ‘dumsor,’ and I fixed it. There was no power rationing or load management in Ghana,” he reminded the nation.
