Earlier today, I joined the dedicated men and women of the Ghana Armed Forces, alongside staff of the Ministries of Defence and Finance, for the first day of the National Cleaning Exercise.
Together, let’s keep the momentum going by actively participating in the second day of this important national effort.
A cleaner Ghana begins with each of us.

Steady hands, steady economy.

Excerpts of my opening remarks as Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Côte d’Ivoire–Ghana Cocoa Initiative (CIGCI) at the ongoing 7th Ordinary Meeting:
“I recall our virtual meeting of 4 May 2026 and our collective resolve to convene here in Abidjan for this in-person meeting, which is critical to reaffirming and strengthening our collaboration.
Sustained dialogue and deeper cooperation are not ends in themselves but rather means to an end.
While we may not be able to resolve all our challenges here today, our collective determination to make a genuine and lasting positive impact on our farmers, our countries, and future generations should remain the driving force that guides our work.
The relevance and necessity of this collaboration are undeniable, and we must ensure that it succeeds.
Allow me to reiterate what I said during our virtual meeting in May:
"As the world’s two leading cocoa-producing countries, we must engage more consistently and strategically to protect our economies.
By doing so, we can better anticipate challenges, mitigate shocks, and shape the future of the industry rather than merely reacting to its disruptions."
I therefore encourage us all to engage openly, constructively, and with a shared sense of purpose as we deliberate over the coming hours. Let us focus on identifying practical solutions and concrete actions that will strengthen our partnership and advance the interests of our farmers and our countries.
May God continue to bless our two countries and may we all serve as worthy ambassadors of sustainable and positive change.
The cocoa sector deserves to be transformed into one that is more resilient, prosperous, and profitable for the benefit of both our countries and our farmers.
Thank you for your kind attention.”

The Government of Ghana is repatriating 327 Ghanaians from La Côte d'Ivoire following a mass demolition exercise by Ivorian authorities.
228 arrived in Ghana safely yesterday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ special consular intervention of bringing back home Ghanaians and their belongings is to guarantee the protection and welfare of our stranded compatriots.
The Ministry is grateful to all those who brought this development to our attention and conveys appreciation to our diplomatic mission in Abidjan and Ivorian authorities for the effective cooperation and welcome promise of compensation.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏
Competent. Humble. Courageous. Strategic.
Dr. Ato Forson has proven himself where it counts — not on social media, but in the corridors of economic management where the real work happens.
He is not just Finance Minister material. He is Presidential material. 🇬🇭

For clarity and accuracy, the Department of Parks and Gardens was established in 1961 as part of Ghana’s Public Service. The staff assigned to the Presidency are not employees of the Office of the President, they remain officers of the Department of Parks and Gardens and are only posted on attachment to support the Presidency.
The Department operates under the Local Government sector. This is not a discovery.
I was honoured to speak at the World Environment Day celebration of the Department of Environmental Science, KNUST, on the theme: “Inspired by Nature, Acting for Climate, Building the Future: The Ghanaian Context.”
Returning to the Department where my journey began was deeply meaningful. Environmental Science gave me the foundation, my legal training continues to sharpen my tools and public service gives me the platform to contribute to national development.
In my presentation, I reflected on how Ghana’s environmental future must be shaped by the protection of our forests, rivers, wetlands, coastlines and natural resources. I also highlighted the importance of responsible mining, forest recovery, water security, flood resilience, climate adaptation and youth leadership in building a sustainable future.
My message to the students was simple: do not see Environmental Science as narrow. It is a powerful foundation for research, law, governance, finance, technology, entrepreneurship and public service.
Nature teaches us balance, resilience and responsibility. Our task is to listen, act and build a future that protects both people and the environment.
