President John Dramani Mahama has announced that more than one million Ghanaians secured employment during the first two quarters of 2025, describing the development as a strong indicator of economic recovery.
Delivering the 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on Friday, February 27, the President said the job gains reflect the positive impact of targeted government interventions designed to stimulate growth and expand opportunities across key sectors.
He attributed the employment surge to policies focused on agriculture, infrastructure development, support for small and medium-sized enterprises, and investments in the digital economy.
“These numbers demonstrate that our policies are beginning to yield tangible benefits for households and young people across the country,” President Mahama stated.
While acknowledging the progress made, he emphasised that the government remains committed to intensifying job creation efforts, particularly for the youth, through sustained public investment and stronger private sector partnerships.
Job creation, he added, will remain central to his administration’s economic agenda as it works to consolidate growth and improve living standards nationwide.
