Visiting the ship named Mercy was a truly remarkable experience for everyone involved, especially President John Dramani Mahama. His expression as he toured the ultra-modern vessel, equipped with all the amenities of a modern hospital, was truly heartwarming.

In his speech,President Mahama pledged his support for the mission and commented on the remarkably spectacular generosity and kindness of the promoters of the mission saying;

“Mercy Ship” had served Ghana on previous visits since 1991. Those missions delivered more than 2,600 surgeries and 16,700 dental procedures and supported the development of 139 Ghanaian health professionals. We remember that past service with gratitude,” he noted.

President Mahama said Mercy Ships' voluntary medical support had provided life-saving care to patients who waited years for specialist treatment, including operations for cataracts, cleft lips and palates, tumours, childhood orthopaedic conditions, and other treatable conditions.

The hope in the eyes of the beneficiaries, patients and families was palpable. We witnessed a surreal moment when the organisers reported on the sheer volume of cases and the number of volunteers aboard the beautiful vessel.

Yesterday, the Ghana Law Society brought together members of the legal profession for its Bar Conference, an important platform for reflection, professional exchange and conversations on the future of the legal profession. Such gatherings remind us that the strength of our justice system depends not only on the law itself, but on the commitment, integrity and continued development of those entrusted with upholding it.

As we reflect on the conversations and contributions from this year’s conference, we must continue to invest in a legal profession that is responsive to the changing needs of our country, anchored in professional excellence and committed to justice and the public good. Congratulations to the Ghana Law Society on a successful conference, and to all who contributed to making it a meaningful gathering.

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.

New York is buzzing with activity as the 81st United Nations General Assembly gets underway. Convoys arrive in steady succession, badges are meticulously checked and rechecked, and the corridors of the UN are filled with world leaders, diplomats, policymakers and changemakers from every corner of the globe.

There is something truly remarkable about being here witnessing the conversations, the chance encounters or “ pull outs” and the close interactions with leaders whose work and influence we have often only encountered through the pages of history and the news.

Ghana is very well represented, led by His Excellency the President and Leader of the Government Delegation, John Dramani Mahama. Without a doubt, he has been one of the most visible and engaged leaders at this Assembly. Yesterday alone, the President held close to 15 bilateral engagements, with many more conversations and meetings ahead.

He is also hosting two important high-level side events. The Accra Reset Global High-Level Event was a resounding success, bringing renewed attention to the urgent questions of health sovereignty, food systems, climate resilience and human development. The dialogue on Reparatory Justice, aptly themed “The Next Steps.” was over subscribed.

What has been particularly encouraging is the growing interest in Ghana’s voice and in the President’s perspective on some of the most pressing challenges facing our continent and the wider world.

President Mahama has brought a clear African perspective to this UNGA one centred on human development, job creation, economic transformation, the responsible utilisation of Africa’s natural resources, and the need for a fairer global system that gives Africa a meaningful voice in decisions that affect its future.

In his engagements with world leaders, he has also continued to advocate for equal rights and opportunities for Africa, while calling for reforms that can strengthen the United Nations as an institution capable of advancing democracy, peace, security and development for all.

His presence, knowledge and confidence are evident in every engagement. More importantly, his message is consistent: Ghana must continue to position itself as a credible partner in shaping solutions to the challenges of our time, while Africa must be empowered to determine and drive its own development trajectory.

At home, the Government continues its work on economic stabilisation, infrastructure development, industrialisation and job creation all critical to building a stronger and more resilient Ghana.

We are witnessing an important chapter in Ghana’s engagement with the world, and we remain committed to supporting the work required to deliver meaningful progress for our people.

Above all, we remain grateful for the grace of God and His continued guidance over our President, our country and all those entrusted with the responsibility of serving Ghana.

The work continues.

President John Dramani Mahama has called for a decisive global shift from acknowledging the loss of Africa’s cultural heritage to taking concrete action to secure its return.

Speaking at a high-level side event on the return and restitution of cultural property and heritage on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, President Mahama stressed that Africa’s cultural treasures are not merely objects in museums, but living links to the continent’s history, identity and dignity.

Co-hosted by Ghana, France and Germany, the event brought renewed focus to the need for permanent, institutionalised mechanisms for restitution, greater investment in Africa’s cultural infrastructure, and the unconditional return of human remains.

President Mahama outlined Ghana’s “Next Steps” agenda, anchored on institutionalising restitution, strengthening Africa’s capacity to preserve returning heritage, and recognising cultural heritage as an engine for education, tourism, identity and creative-sector development.

“The story of Africa’s cultural heritage cannot end with its removal. It must continue with its return.”

Today I celebrate the efforts of the Social media community and all who supported me all through the years. I have watched many individuals grow from their work here on these platforms. There are very few young men and women who have not interacted with me one way or the other over the years.

In my work in the office of the then Former President, we harnessed many different ideas,associated with, interacted with and worked with each and every person, including but not limited to Party members and leaders, party associates and groups, a raft of International associations and several young people and associates from the length and breadth of Ghana. Leading many conversations and defending many others, Our Boss, gave myself and my colleagues all the support we needed, grooming and coaching us in our daily activities. It was a profound experience and a call to duty, one that we carried out with deep humility and respect.

The work was not always easy especially out of government and in opposition but we had a great Boss and many elders who supported us in our efforts.Including our families and friends.

Without sounding boastful there are many in and around the country with whom we engaged and associated with, positively even when we had little or next to nothing but hope. We didn’t have jobs to share or even appointment letters to share,all we had was hope and a man whose vision we believed in.

We served with decorum and with a deep sense of humility and respect.for the greater good. Yes even then the journey was tough and the terrain was harder to navigate.

Today we are all proud of the work we put in and proud of the success we have achieved.
Some of our greatest comrades are no longer here with us but we remember their sacrifices and contributions each day. Thank you to all of you out there who continue to support our efforts.
God bless you all.
