President John Dramani Mahama will be in the Eastern Region on Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2, 2026, as part of his nationwide “Resetting Ghana Tour,” a programme centred on development engagement and infrastructure delivery.
The visit, being coordinated by the Eastern Regional Coordinating Council, will bring together traditional leaders, government officials, workers and residents for a series of activities aimed at deepening dialogue on local development priorities.
A key highlight of the programme will be the 2026 National May Day celebration at Jackson Park in Koforidua, where thousands of workers and labour leaders are expected to gather under the theme of recognising the contribution of labour to national growth.
On the first day of the tour, the President is scheduled to cut sod for several projects, including a multi-purpose hall and hostel facility at the SDA College of Education in New Juaben North, as well as a 24-hour market project at Asesewa in the Upper Manya Krobo District.
He is also expected to commission the Krobo Divisional Police Headquarters at Lasi, part of efforts to improve security infrastructure and strengthen policing in the area.
The second day will be dedicated to citizen engagement and project inspections. President Mahama will hold a town hall meeting at the ICGC Jesus Temple at Adweso, where he is expected to interact directly with residents on local concerns and development needs.
He will also inspect ongoing works at the University of Environment and Sustainable Development in Somanya and the Akosombo–Gyakiti Road, which forms part of the government’s “Big Push” infrastructure agenda.
The “Resetting Ghana Tour” is designed to strengthen government-community engagement while accelerating development projects across the country, with residents urged to actively participate in the programme.
