President John Dramani Mahama has admitted that Ghana's economy is in distress, describing the current situation as an "unprecedented crisis" during his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27, 2025. "The state of our nation is not good.

Our economy is in hardship, and our people are suffering an unprecedented crisis," Mahama stated, setting a frank and urgent tone for his address before Parliament.

Despite the challenges, the President reaffirmed his commitment to steering Ghana toward recovery, emphasizing that he is focused on solutions rather than complaints. "My approach is to accept challenges and work to address them.

I did not come here to lament the state of our country," he assured Ghanaians.
