President John Dramani Mahama has once again reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to providing decent jobs. He is committed to fostering economic stability. Additionally, he ensures social justice for workers as Ghana celebrates this year’s May Day.
In a message shared on his official Facebook page, President Mahama paid tribute to the hard work of Ghanaian workers, calling them the “engine of our economy, the builders of our infrastructure, and the innovators who propel us forward.” He commended their unrelenting efforts, resilience, and their vital contribution to the country’s development.
The theme for this year’s May Day, “Striving for Peace and Stability to Drive Industrialisation, Trade, and Decent Work for Social Justice,” resonated with the President, who emphasized the need for sustainable policies that promote economic growth and equitable working conditions.
“My government recognises and deeply values the pivotal role of the Ghanaian worker in driving our national development agenda,” Mahama stated. He further emphasized that his administration is focused on creating a conducive environment where workers can thrive and help “Reset Ghana.”
President Mahama highlighted recent actions taken within the first four months of his return to office. These actions include measures aimed at stabilising the economy. He is advancing industrialisation through the value addition of raw materials. Additionally, he is expanding job opportunities in light manufacturing and related sectors.
He also highlighted Ghana’s expanding trade partnerships within Africa. These partnerships are crucial for opening new markets for local goods and services. A key part of this strategy, he mentioned, is the government’s flagship 24-hour economy initiative.
As part of his 120-day social contract, Mahama reaffirmed his pledge to deliver decent work for all Ghanaians. He is focusing on fair wages, safe workplaces, and skills development. He is also safeguarding workers’ rights.
“Only yesterday, the National Youth Authority launched the National Apprenticeship Programme, closely following the introduction of the Adwumawura and One Million Coders programmes,” Mahama said, noting that these initiatives aim to create skilled workers and dignified employment opportunities.
The President acknowledged the ongoing challenges of inflation, unemployment, and infrastructure gaps. He assured Ghanaians that the government is committed to addressing these issues head-on.
He also guaranteed continued investments in education, skills development, and infrastructure. Roads and energy are particularly crucial components of the country’s economic transformation.
In his closing remarks, President Mahama called for enhanced cooperation between employers and workers. He urged all parties to foster mutual respect. He also emphasized collective responsibility in creating a prosperous and just Ghana.
“Let us work together to create a more prosperous and equitable Ghana, where every citizen can contribute their talents and skills to national development,” he said, ending his message with the hashtags #ResettingGhana #LetsBuildGhanaTogether.
