Ghana has been flooding since before independence.
3,000 dead. 700,000 displaced. $1 billion lost.
Not from hurricanes. Not from tsunamis.
From gutters we blocked ourselves. From waterways we built on. From warnings we ignored.
The rain didn't fail us. We failed ourselves.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by the floods. Protecting lives and property takes all of us - state institutions and citizens alike. We must all uphold best practices to prevent floods and reduce their impact.

I am pleased to announce that today in London, we signed a landmark UK-Ghana Growth Partnership during the Ghana-UK Investment Summit, as a roadmap for 2026–2028. It aims to deliver tangible benefits for Ghanaians and businesses operating in our country.
Deals worth up to £215 million stand at the centre of our collaboration with the UK. By prioritising private-sector growth, infrastructure, and skills development for our youth, we aim to ensure they can compete globally.
A groundbreaking £101 million UK-backed initiative, part of the partnership, will create the Gulf of Guinea's very first commercial-scale ship repair and dry-docking facility. Set to generate up to 430 direct jobs, including 30% reserved for women, the Takoradi Floating Dock Project will propel Ghana to the forefront of regional maritime hubs.
The Partnership is unlocking millions in climate-aligned infrastructure, propelling an £85 million reforestation fund and an exciting £9 million investment dedicated to forest restoration in the Oti Region. These transformative projects will generate local jobs and safeguard our environment.
Even more exciting, a £6 million partnership will support the implementation of the Ghana AI Strategy and energise science and technology collaboration across our universities.
In the health sector, our systems will be transformed by a £4 million partnership for specialist clinical engineering training. New Transnational Education guidelines will also be launched to open up outstanding opportunities for Ghanaian students to access world-class training.

I extend my sincerest appreciation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, H.E. Petr Macinka for hosting me warmly in Prague.
We held fruitful discussions focusing on our bilateral cooperation including the revived €48million bridge projects in Ghana, expanding VAMED hospitals and expediting ongoing talks for buses to transform public transportation.
Our two countries are also initiating discussions on a potential visa waiver agreement.
I thanked the Czech government and the organizers of GLOBSEC for inviting me to share my reflections on the importance of Africa in the evolving global order and the demands of the Ghana-led coalition for reparatory justice.
