The presidential inauguration which took place at the Black Star Square, had more than 10 African heads of states in attendance, including Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu.
The President highlighted economic restoration and stabilization of the macroeconomic environment, improvement of the business environment to make Ghana more business friendly, accountability in the fight against corruption, governance and constitutional reforms as major areas of action, as he takes over governance.
He also called for a national reset to rebuild faith in Ghana’s institutions and leadership and to introduce a 24-hour economy model to create jobs and stimulate industries, while emphasizing youth empowerment, gender equality and commitment to strengthening regional and international partnerships, in addition to other 26 actions he hopes to take within his first 120 days in office.
Mahama’s historic return to the seat of power today after his first tenure between 2012 and 2017 has also been written in gold, as it is the first time Ghana would get a female Vice-President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
The Mahama administration is expected to hit the ground running with key actions to include executive orders to address inflation, currency stabilization and debt management; announcement of key appointments such as the Finance Minister, Attorney General; anti-corruption measures; high-powered meetings with business leaders to reaffirm Ghana’s openness for business and outline plans for a 24-hour economy.
