During his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, 27th February, President John Dramani Mahama unveiled an ambitious vision to position Ghana as a leading global destination for tourism, cultural exchange, and economic growth.
His speech highlighted key initiatives designed to harness Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, boost infrastructure, and create employment opportunities through strategic projects.
One of the flagship projects under this vision is the Black Star Experience, a strategic initiative designed to establish Ghana as the gateway to Africa for the global diaspora. Developed in collaboration with players from the private sector, diplomatic missions, and government agencies, this initiative will provide a carefully selected selection of cultural, historical, and artistic experiences. We aim to position the Black Star Experience as a uniquely Ghanaian tourism brand, President Mahama emphasised.
President Mahama acknowledged the significance of a robust road network to the accomplishment of these economic and tourism initiatives. He highlighted that over 90% of goods and services in Ghana are transported via road, making infrastructure development a national priority.
He emphasized how important this vital network is for economic growth and connectivity, reiterating the government’s commitment to improving and expanding Ghana’s road infrastructure to make it easier for people to move around and do business.
