President John Dramani Mahama has announced that, according to the Ghana Statistical Service, over one million Ghanaians have found employment in 2025.  

According to John Mahama, one million Ghanaians have found employment between Quarter 1 and Quarter 3 of 2025.

Mahama detailed that the figures reflect the impact of targeted interventions aimed at stimulating job creation across key sectors of Ghana’s economy.

President Mahama further disclosed that the Ghana Statistical Service indicated that approximately 950,000 people also exited multidimensional poverty in 2025.

Speaking during the 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on Friday, February 27, President Mahama stated, “According to the Ghana Statistical Service, over 1 million Ghanaians have found employment between quarter one and quarter three of 2025. About 950,000 have escaped multidimensional poverty over the same period.

This improvement indicates that our economy is gaining strength and resilience on the global stage. We are moving decisively from planning to action on our flagship 24-hour economy,” he said.

The President asserted that although progress has been made, his government remains committed to expanding opportunities for the youth.

Mahama further detailed that job creation will remain central to his administration’s economic agenda.

Additionally, President John Dramani Mahama has boldly declared that Ghana is once again back and is working again.

According to President Mahama, Ghana’s economy is stabilising and returning to growth.

Mahama stressed that the path for Ghana’s recovery had been challenging, but the economic measures taken by his government are yielding results.

Mahama added, “I was clear from the outset that recovery would not come easily, but I was also clear that I would stop at nothing to turn this situation around and bring relief to Ghanaians”.

“I promised then that just as I have confronted and overcome crises in the past, I would reset our economy and return us to a path of growth, progress and development,” he stated.

“Mr Speaker, I told this August House when I appeared before you last year that we would have to take tough, prudent and necessary decisions to restore stability and credibility. Today, I can say with confidence: Ghana is back. Ghana is working again. And Ghana is open for business.”

“The fundamentals are improving, and the path to sustained acceleration is very clear to everyone,” he said, adding that the government deliberately prioritised discipline and reform over waste and speculation.

President Mahama added, “From the outset, we resolved to choose discipline over waste, reform over excuses, and stability over speculation. As a responsible government, our first order of business was to halt the economic haemorrhage and restore order to our public finances.

“These measures have begun to deliver some of the most remarkable economic outcomes in decades,” he told the House.

“We approach this celebration not only with pride in our past but also with renewed hope for our future. We are building prosperity through sound policy, responsible governance, and inclusive growth,” he said

“Our Resetting Ghana agenda is working. Our nation is on the runway; it is in takeoff mode. And you are all advised to fasten your seat belts,” Mahama added.
