President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to embrace the enduring ideals of Ghana's first president, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, as the country marks Founder's Day on September 21. Highlighting Nkrumah's relentless pursuit of liberty, Pan-African unity, and self-reliance, Mahama stressed that these principles have positioned Ghana as a beacon of hope globally.
The President emphasized that the unfinished work of national development requires continuous effort from citizens at home and in the diaspora. He urged Ghanaians to draw strength from Nkrumah's vision, fostering equitable growth, economic freedom, and social justice. Observers note that linking Ghana's domestic policy alignments to broader African perspectives offers a strategic model for regional economic sovereignty, bridging historical anti-colonial struggles with modern socioeconomic frameworks.
