President John Dramani Mahama has been commended for his hands-on leadership during recent negotiations on Ghana's National Daily Minimum Wage (NDMW), which resulted in a 10% increment for 2025.
Professor Ransford Gyampo, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, praised the President's involvement, describing it as a show of humility and respect towards organised labour. "President Mahama himself went to sit with labour for the base pay negotiations.
This is leadership-humility-respect personified.
Previously even common Ministers felt too big to sit with labour.
