The Northern Regional Minister, Hon. Ali Adolf John Mburudiba, has issued a passionate call for national unity, moral renewal, and collective action to propel Ghana toward a future of lasting peace and shared prosperity.
Delivering a keynote address on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama during the inaugural National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held at the Church of Pentecost, Tishigu Assembly in Tamale, Hon. Mburudiba encouraged citizens to reflect on their shared journey as a nation, reset their attitudes, and renew their commitment to national development.
A Sacred National Reset
Themed “Reflect, Reset, and Renew for National Prosperity,” the Minister’s address underscored the symbolic and spiritual importance of the event. He urged Ghanaians to:
- Reflect on past challenges and victories, learning from both to inform your future endeavours.
- Reset by discarding divisive habits, complacency, and apathy.
- Renew national values through innovation, patriotism, and shared responsibility.
“We must renew our resolve to build a nation where healthcare is accessible, education is quality-driven, businesses flourish, and all citizens feel safe, valued, and empowered,” Hon. Mburudiba declared.
A National Call to Action
Hon. Mburudiba called on all citizens to uphold high moral standards, embrace volunteerism, and be active contributors to their communities. He made a heartfelt plea for prayer, particularly for the nation’s youth, to be shielded from social vices such as drug abuse, which threaten their future and national progress.
He led the congregation in intercessory prayers for:
- Wisdom and integrity for national leaders

A New Chapter for Ghana
The Northern Regional Minister concluded his message with optimism and gratitude, calling on Ghanaians to view this National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving not just as a moment of spiritual reflection but as the beginning of a renewed national spirit anchored in cooperation, peace, and development.
“Let this be the dawn of a new chapter for Ghana—one where we rise together as one people, under God, with a renewed determination to build a prosperous nation.”
