Speaking at the inaugural ceremony marking his departure from the Osu Castle to the Flagstaff House at Kanda, Thursday morning, President Mahama assured Ghanaians that government is working assiduously to address the unemployment problems in the country.
He explained that under his leadership, a more refined procedure will be adopted to curb the unemployment situation.
According to him; “It is our intention to give real hope to our youth, partner the private sector to expand business, grow the economy rapidly and create employment for the numerous job seekers.”
“As we relocate the Presidency today, permit me to emphasize that the primary objective of all public policies to be pursued by government will be targeted at first and foremost improving and enhancing human capacity and the dignity of all Ghanaians. Adjusting viable desire to accelerate social economic transformation and the quest for scientific discovery and innovation requires the production of highly skilled human resources and the social support system that incentivizes and motivates the citizenry to commit themselves to higher levels of productivity,” he continued.
He further said that government is setting up effective communicative machinery to create opportunities for the Ghanaian populace to directly inform the Presidency about the challenges they encounter and therefore ensure that they reach out to the seat of government. This he believes will build goodwill between the Presidency and the citizens in the country.
He recounted: “This government recognizes the importance of information and communication and will engage the Ghanaian and international public in a proactive and effective manner. We will in the weeks ahead unveil our public engagement and consultation strategies and the platforms to allow Ghanaians to directly communicate with the office of the President. We will also broaden our information and communication strategies to integrate traditional media channels and contemporary social media forums.”
President Mahama also stated that he will improve infrastructure to boost the progress of the nation.
He added that his government is on track to resolve the energy and water crises that have befallen the nation.
“We shall give high priority to the health, education, housing, energy and water provision, ICT development and general infrastructure that will inure to the benefits of our people and rapidly transform our nation.” he said.
He stressed that government will not relent on its promises to the people of Ghana.
“For the next four years, we will run an administration that is intelligent, that is effective and that exudes excellence in operationalizing the core values and aspirations of the people of Ghana.
“Let me assure all Ghanaians again that this government will deliver on its promise to make Ghana greater and strong,” he added.
President John Mahama today officially moved to the Flagstaff House which remains the seat of government to commence his executive and administrative duties. His relocation was heralded by a ceremony to usher him into the Presidential Palace.
Present at the function were former President Rawlings, Foreign Affairs Minister Hannah Tetteh and other dignitaries.
