His Eminence Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson has urged Ghanaians to prioritise the collective well-being of society over individual gain, calling for the responsible management of the country's vast natural resources.

Delivering a sermon at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on Tuesday July 1, Cardinal Turkson stressed that the pursuit of the common good must be anchored in regulation, equity, and shared responsibility. "The pursuit of the common good requires regulation, which members of the community will have to abide by.

Otherwise, the common good fails to serve the need of the commons," he said.

He underscored the blessings Ghana enjoys in terms of natural wealth and urged that these endowments serve all citizens equally and not a privileged few. "Here in Ghana, we live on a land with a lot of endowments and riches, about which we have prayed this morning and thank God for.
