National unity and economic self-reliance are key in addressing challenges – Mahama
ShareTweetSendShareSend

President John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to unite in tackling the nation’s economic and governance challenges, emphasising that the country must break free from dependence on foreign aid.

Speaking at the 68th Independence Anniversary commemoration, President Mahama called on citizens to reflect on Ghana’s economic standing, governance framework, and development priorities. He stressed the need for bold leadership and decisive action to build a self-sufficient nation.

“Proclaiming self-reliance while marching straight to the doors of donor agencies, begging bowl in hand, is meaningless,” he stated. “My administration is formulating policies based on fiscal discipline and living within our means to break this cycle of dependence and reset our economy.”

The President highlighted key economic initiatives such as the 24-hour economy program, aimed at boosting job creation and productivity, and the US$10 billion Big Push Initiative to modernise infrastructure and stimulate local industries. He also pointed to agriculture as a major opportunity, with initiatives like the Feed Ghana Programme and the Poultry Farm-to-Table Initiative designed to reduce food import dependence.

Addressing ongoing conflicts in parts of the country, particularly in Bawku, President Mahama appealed for peace and reconciliation.

“I do not speak as president but as your son and brother. It is time for lasting peace. Let us not be swayed by division, mistrust, or the weight of past injuries.”

He urged all Ghanaians to participate in the constitutional review process to strengthen democratic governance. “We must not allow weaknesses in our governance framework to fester until they threaten national stability,” he cautioned.

Ending his speech, Mahama called on young people to take charge of Ghana’s future.

“Young Ghanaians must step up, seize these opportunities, and contribute to building a self-sufficient nation. Ghana’s economic future is in your hands.”
