President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced that the nation is making a significant turnaround, having surmounted challenges and gearing up for the future.
During his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, the President conveyed optimism that, despite previous hardships, Ghana is now heading towards recovery.
“Mr. Speaker, we stumbled, but we are rising again. We were bruised, but we are healing. We have recovered our footing. We have dusted ourselves off, and now we face tomorrow with confidence. Every day we pray and hope that adversity may spare our families, our communities and our dear nation.”
“But should we be confronted by misfortune; we must face it like people with a proud history who fight and do not flee. Yenim ko; yen nim adwane. That is the Ghanaian spirit. That is our armour and our shield. This is our ethos,” he stated.
As part of his address, the President disclosed plans to introduce a Performance Tracker—an upcoming tool designed to enhance transparency and accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects nationwide. The President announced that the tracker is scheduled to be unveiled in March of this year.
He emphasized that the tracker aims to tackle persistent concerns regarding the precision and dependability of project representations, particularly those relying on artist’s impressions to depict outcomes.
The President, speaking about the initiative, underscored the importance of maintaining standards and delivering concrete results to the people.
