“An ancient African proverb teaches us that there are many roads to the market. This means there are many ways to solve a problem. If peace is our ultimate destination, our diverse experiences, institutional innovations, and collective demographic strength offer multiple pathways to reach it.”
President John Dramani Mahama at the opening of the 12th Tana Forum.

Edmond Kombat is the helmsman at the Tema Oil Refinery-the youngest in the checkered history of the Refinery.

Tomorrow, he appears at the Government Accountability Series to apprise the Ghanaian public of the heavy lifting he and his team of hardworking staff are undertaking and the remarkable successes chalked so far

Don't chase time

Waltz whilst you can
lest wishes wash away
Whilst you watch out

I'm posting this pic for 3 reasons:
1. I love my mum.
2. I'm a 2 week old lawyer and showing off is still allowed.
3. I paid the photographer for the photos and I can't just leave them on my phone like that.

If you want more photos, say aye

@kazmas42 @JDMahama You seem very pained I wonder why.

Pres @JDMahama stood up today and gave his Presidential Chair to the Regent of Dagbon during Picture time. Small act. Big meaning.
Power that is secure enough to be humble. Today you taught us that there is a difference between occupying the Presidency and understanding it.

[Shamima Muslim @shamimamuslim]

@thenartpee @_Fiifi_Sage @MrIrish3 Nartey is has been calling me all over - here I am. Government is listening and doing so with humility and understanding. I stand by that principle.

Ghana's @CSAGhana, under the @MoCDTI, working with the CID of the @GhPoliceService and operatives from the National Security Secretariat, struck a decisive blow against cyber criminals through a series of sting operations between 25th and 28th September 2026.

The @JDMahama administration is committed to stamping out cybercrime. We are grateful to our international partners, including @NCA_UK and @FBI.

The @CSAGhana will continue these operations with our local and international law enforcement partners.

For God and Country. 🦁🇬🇭

We leave New York thinking about many things.

Something about the content and context of the President’s address. Something about the positive reviews Ghana continues to receive. Something about the many successfully oversubscribed side events on Reparations and the Accra Reset. And something about the remarkable number of leaders who had, well ahead of #UNGA, sought appointments to meet with the President.

A raft of conversations. A multitude of discussions. And, running through them all, a deeper conversation about the future of Africa and the place of Ghana within it.

Last year, President John Dramani Mahama stood before the United Nations General Assembly and spoke about an Africa that needed a stronger voice, a fairer global financial system, greater control over its resources, and a new relationship with its development partners.

Ghana subsequently spearheaded the UN resolution on Reparations and Reparatory Justice. The Accra Reset, introduced at UNGA80, has since travelled from Accra to Geneva and back to New York, gathering momentum, building partnerships and attracting considerable support.

But something else is happening with Ghana.

In 2025, Ghana attracted approximately US$2.6 billion in foreign direct investment, nearly four times the level recorded the previous year. The economy grew by 6%. International reserves reached approximately US$11.9 billion. Inflation has fallen significantly, and the IMF now assesses Ghana’s risk of debt distress as moderate an improvement achieved earlier than originally anticipated.

These numbers do not suggest that everything is perfect. They do, however, suggest that something is changing. There is greater stability. There is sustained growth. And, perhaps most importantly, there is renewed hope that the gains being recorded at the macroeconomic level can, in time, translate into better lives for ordinary Ghanaians.

Our visit to the New York Stock Exchange was, in many ways, another signal of that journey. Ghana is open for business.

Increasingly, Ghana’s story is changing. Our President is walking into important rooms and speaking with confidence about Ghana’s future, Ghana’s potential and the possibilities that exist for a continent of 1.4 billion people.

There appears to be a nexus between what we are fixing at home, what Ghana is advocating for Africa, and the partnerships we are pursuing internationally.

The President speaks about adding value to our cocoa and minerals rather than continuing to export them in their raw form. He speaks about Africa financing more of its own development. He speaks about the African Continental Free Trade Area not merely as an agreement, but as an opportunity to position Ghana as a gateway to a market of more than 1.4 billion people.

And increasingly, these conversations are taking place not only within the halls of the United Nations, but with investors, governments, development institutions and businesses.

Of course, diplomacy alone does not create prosperity.

A photograph at the Stock Exchange does not create a job in Accra, Kumasi or Tamale. A bilateral meeting does not automatically become an investment. And a strong GDP number means little to a family that is still struggling to make ends meet.

The real work is in converting access into investment, investment into businesses, businesses into jobs, and growth into better lives.

But access matters. Credibility matters. And telling our story clearly and consistently matters. It helps to build confidence, deepen partnerships and create the space within which opportunity can become reality.

And having a Ghanaian President who can walk into these rooms with a clearer economic story at home and a compelling proposition for Africa matters too.

Perhaps that is the real takeaway from this year’s UNGA for me.

It was not simply that Ghana was present.

Ghana had something to say.

Ghana had something to show.

And increasingly, Ghana has something to offer.

#PresidentMahamaUNGA81: Engages world leaders on trade, AI, and economic turnaround

President John Dramani Mahama held bilateral discussions Tuesday on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), securing commitments on trade, technology, and economic support.

He met with UN Secretary General António Guterres, Kenyan President William Ruto, Jordanian King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, and others.

The meeting with President Ruto focused on expanding bilateral trade, bolstering regional security, strengthening diplomatic ties, and unifying Africa's voice on global platforms.

Relations between Ghana and Kenya are rooted in the early pan-African independence movements. President Ruto commended President Mahama for spearheading the #AccraReset agenda, acknowledging his efforts to rally global attention toward greater self-financing and financial independence for African nations.

The meeting with King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein of Jordan explored how to expand economic cooperation, foster bilateral growth, and explore new trade partnerships.

President Mahama outlined his administration's strategies to revive the national economy despite inherited challenges during his meeting with Swiss President Guy Parmelin.

He called for a Swiss partnership to strengthen Ghana’s decentralisation framework and highlighted artificial intelligence (AI) as a key tool Ghana seeks to leverage from Switzerland to close domestic revenue mobilisation gaps.

President Mahama also met with Rebeca Grynspan, Costa Rica’s candidate for United Nations Secretary-General, and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, in her capacity as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health.

When I say state entities need to learn more about transparency from the new kid on the block, GoldBod, I really mean it.

The 2025 trading reports are publicly available again. You can get a weekly breakdown of how much money the Bank of Ghana provided to GoldBod, how much gold was expected to be supplied, how much was actually supplied, and the variances.

The 2025 trade reports show a variance of 3.8 billion cedis. Most of that came from inflows towards the end of the year. That amount is also recorded as a payable to the Bank of Ghana in the audited financial statements of Goldbod.

If you’re a state entity that has existed for many years and can’t even publish an annual report, you really need to sit up!

President John Dramani Mahama has called for stronger partnerships across the Global South to build self-sustaining health systems linking research, regulation, local manufacturing and reliable distribution.
He stressed that the sovereign health agenda is not a retreat into isolationism, but a call for strategic cooperation and shared capacity-building
