In his first month in office, President John Dramani Mahama has taken swift and decisive actions to address key national concerns, including economic recovery, governance reforms, security, education, and social welfare.

Below are some of his major achievements within 30 days:

Governance and Institutional Reforms

  • President Mahama has reduced the number of government ministries from 30 to 23, signaling a commitment to efficient governance and cost-cutting measures.
  • He appointed ministers within a record 14 days, ensuring swift governmental operations.
  • A Constitution Review Committee has been formed to examine and propose necessary amendments to the 1992 Constitution.

Economic and Social Interventions

  • The President set up an Economic Dialogue Planning Committee to engage stakeholders on strategies to revive Ghana’s struggling economy.
  • A Tripartite Committee was constituted to negotiate and determine the minimum wage and base pay for public sector workers.
  • The government also reduced Hajj fares from GHS75,000 to GHS62,000 per person, easing financial burdens on Muslim pilgrims.

Security and Rule of Law

  • In a move to restore peace in conflict-prone Bawku, discussions with key stakeholders have commenced.
  • President Mahama formally requested the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to investigate and report on deaths recorded during the 2020 and 2024 elections.
  • A committee has been set up to establish the Gold Board, which will regulate the small-scale mining sector.
  • The President issued a directive through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for an immediate halt to illegal mining in forests and water bodies.

Education and Student Welfare

  • A committee has been formed to plan an education forum, expected to submit its report within two weeks.
  • The government reduced residential facility fees at the University of Ghana from GHS3,000 to GHS2,500, bringing relief to students and parents.
  • To address feeding challenges in Senior High Schools, the government allocated food stored in Tema warehouses to various schools.
  • The President has encouraged the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) to openly discuss challenges associated with implementing the Free SHS program.

Social Welfare and Disaster Relief

  • In response to the Kantamanto market fire disaster, President Mahama donated GHS1 million to affected victims.
  • He ordered tighter surveillance at markets and directed the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) to position fire tenders closer to market centers to prevent future disasters.
  • The government has instituted a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving Service.

Land Administration and State Property Management

  • The sale of state lands has been halted, with the Lands Commission tasked to submit a detailed report on state land acquisitions.
  • The President has also put a stop to the use of public funds for the controversial National Cathedral project.

National Unity and Traditional Leadership Engagement

  • President Mahama played a crucial role in uniting the previously divided Western Region House of Chiefs after five years of internal disputes.
  • The government has taken steps to set up the ORAL Preparatory Committee to gather evidence for further state actions.

Energy and Infrastructure

  • His administration successfully averted an imminent and orchestrated power crisis, ensuring stable electricity supply.

President Mahama’s first 30 days in office have been marked by bold policy decisions and proactive measures aimed at stabilizing the economy, strengthening governance, improving security, and addressing pressing social issues.

His government continues to engage stakeholders to implement long-term solutions for national development.
