Speaking at the Executive Leadership Retreat in Ada, the President laid out a compelling vision for leadership grounded in accountability, innovation, and people-first governance.
“I issue this challenge to each of you to lead your sectors with vision and integrity, champion innovation, make decisions based on facts and data, and not on guesswork,” President Mahama said during his keynote address.
“Spend public funds wisely and judiciously, reject opulence and never forget your first duty is to the people of Ghana and not to your own political survival, not to the applause you will get and not to your official gain.“

In what he described as the “legacy term” of his presidency, Mahama emphasized the need for results over rhetoric. “You were not appointed to occupy space, you were appointed to solve problems. The Ghanaian people expect us to deliver, and we must not with excuses, but results.”
The President further stressed the need for local empowerment in the country’s natural resource sector.
“We must have an indigenisation programme for taking control of some of our natural resources. In the next few months, we will develop a policy on indigenous participation in natural resource exploitation to ensure Ghanaian participation, ” he stated.
