Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has emphasised that the Mahama administration will immediately begin its “reset agenda” to address the critical challenges facing the nation.
In his remarks during the swearing-in ceremony of newly appointed ministers at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, January 22, Dr. Forson outlined the government’s commitment to addressing urgent issues within key sectors, including energy, education, agriculture, roads, and justice.
“We are also aware of the state of the Ghanaian economy, the state of the energy sector, the state of our justice system, the state of our roads sector, the state of the agricultural sector, and the state of the education sector. While we start working today, we will begin the reset agenda of the country,” Dr. Forson declared, signalling the administration’s immediate approach to tackling these longstanding issues.
The reset agenda, according to Dr. Forson, aims to bring about significant reforms and a comprehensive overhaul of key sectors, ensuring they operate more efficiently and sustainably.
The administration is set to focus on rebuilding the country’s infrastructure, improving service delivery, and tackling systemic challenges that hinder growth and development.
Dr. Forson’s pledge comes amid Ghana’s growing need for economic revitalisation and sectoral reforms. The reset agenda is designed to accelerate recovery and set the country on a path toward sustained growth.
President John Dramani Mahama, who oversaw the swearing-in of six ministerial nominees, expressed his confidence in the ministers to deliver on the reset agenda and steer the country towards success.
The appointees, including Dr. Dominic Ayine as attorney general, John Jinapor as minister for energy and green transition, and Haruna Iddrisu as minister for education, have all been tasked with prioritising the reset agenda within their respective portfolios.
