President Mahama said economic growth is picking up, creating opportunities for young people and improving the business environment. President Mahama urged Ghanaians to remain united and hopeful as the country continues its recovery in the year ahead. MRA/AEMeanwhile, watch President John Dramani Mahama’s 2026 New Year Message
