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.

We probably deserve another red card for that last post! But in all seriousness, congratulations to @Arsenal on winning the Premier League and a great run in the Champions League.
Looking forward to picking up the battle again with you next season.
Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has participated in the Guyana Independence Day celebrations, which began with an interfaith service held on the lawns of the State House.
The solemn ceremony brought together representatives of the Hindu, Muslim, and Christian faiths, alongside members of government and citizens of Guyana. The service served as a moment of national reflection, emphasizing unity in diversity and the shared aspirations guiding the country’s development.
Following the service, the Vice President joined the President of Guyana, the Prime Minister, former Presidents, and other distinguished guests at a private reception hosted at the President’s residence, where discussions and courtesies were exchanged in a spirit of diplomatic engagement and friendship.

On behalf of His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, I was pleased to join the government and people of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana to celebrate their 60th Independence Anniversary.
The cultural performances and displays underscored the unique diversity of the country, whose identity is built on the coexistence of different ethnicities and religious backgrounds. The event culminated in the symbolic flag raising ceremony after midnight.
Congratulations to the Guyanese people on their diamond jubilee.
H. E @JDMahama during his #ResettingGhanatour of the Savannah Region, interacted with pupils of Sawla D/A Primary and JHS as they demonstrated practical BSTEM skills. Joined by the minister for education Haruna Iddrisu, the President stressed government’s commitment to practical and inclusive STEM education, noting that robotics and artificial intelligence are being integrated into the curriculum to equip learners with critical thinking and future-ready skills. H. E added that more than 5,000 schools have already received STEM equipment, alongside teacher training to support effective implementation.

#ResettingGhanaTour
This morning, alongside the management of Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMTL) and the Ministry of Transport, I commissioned 100 new buses on behalf of His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama. The government intends to revitalise Ghana’s transportation sector by expanding safe and accessible public transport.
This is part of a larger intervention to deploy 300 buses nationwide. The buses have been fully registered, insured, inspected, and prepared for deployment to high-demand areas.
I commended the management and staff of MMTL, led by Managing Director Kale Caesar, as well as the Ministry of Transport and partners, especially MAC Ghana, for their efforts in making this initiative possible.
An efficient transport system is essential to national development. This intervention aims to ease commuter burdens, improve accessibility, and provide more reliable and affordable options while restoring dignity and confidence in the public transport system. I also expressed the hope that, as part of our long-term industrialisation agenda, Ghana would increasingly move towards local participation in the manufacturing and assembly of transport components.
I urged management and staff to ensure proper maintenance and disciplined operation of the buses; public investment must be matched by accountability and quality service delivery. Commuters deserve a transport system that is safe, reliable, and respectful of their needs.
The commissioning of these buses reflects Government’s broader focus on infrastructure improvement and public service delivery.
At the invitation of Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, I will deliver the keynote address to the World Health Assembly this morning. At the airport, Mrs Nane Annan, the wife of the late UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, joined Dr Tedros to welcome me and took me on a tour of the Kofi Annan Lounge at Geneva Airport, a space dedicated to the memory of the former Ghanaian diplomat.
Before leaving Accra for Nairobi, I signed into law three transformative bills recently passed by Parliament. The Legal Education Act, the Value for Money Office Act, and the Governance Advisory Council Act strengthen our institutions and protect the interests of every Ghanaian.
The Legal Education Act is a game-changer for our justice system. By ending the exclusive authority of the Ghana School of Law over professional legal education, we are introducing healthy competition and opening doors for more institutions to provide high-quality training. This ensures that we maintain the highest standards while creating the space many aspiring lawyers have long waited for.
With the Value for Money Office Act, we are institutionalising the review of major government contracts and expenditures. This office will be our frontline defence against inflated contracts, cost overruns, and wasteful spending. Every cedi spent must provide real value to the people of Ghana.
I am also proud to have signed the Governance Advisory Council Act. This fulfils a key promise I made to promote good governance and public trust. This independent body will help our efforts to combat corruption. It also ensures that leadership remains accountable to the people.

I commend the leadership and staff of the DACF for their work and reaffirm Government’s commitment to continue to translate policy into tangible outcomes and deepen inclusive development across Ghana.
Beyond the items I distributed to celebrate mothers in Ayawaso West, I am also empowering women with deep freezers, sewing machines, hair dryers,Tv sets and also seed capital for them to expand their businesses. I won’t rest till every soul is touched in my beloved Ayawaso West constituency.
Yesterday, I joyfully hosted Mr. Emmanuel Asamoah, Ghana’s victim of xenophobia we relocated from South Africa.
We had a great time together at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I am pleased to disclose that business mogul, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama has reached out to me and offered to fully sponsor any business startup of Mr. Asamoah’s choice here in Ghana.
