President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to embrace integrity and reject the pursuit of wealth through dishonest means, stressing that rebuilding the country requires a collective reset of national values.
In a message to Ghanaians in the diaspora ahead of Ghana Independence Day on March 6, 2026, the President emphasised that the country’s development depended not only on economic reforms but also on a shift in attitudes among both leaders and citizens.
According to him, the process of resetting Ghana must involve redefining expectations about leadership, accountability, and personal conduct.
“Resetting Ghana is about resetting values, resetting expectations, and resetting the very relationship between leaders and the led,” he said.
President Mahama noted that the nation’s future depended heavily on the moral foundation of the younger generation and urged families and institutions to prioritise character development.
He stressed that children must be taught that integrity should never be compromised and that success should not be measured solely by wealth or material possessions.
“We must teach our children that integrity is non-negotiable; that wealth acquired through dubious means is a curse and not a blessing, and that true success is measured not by what we accumulate, but what we contribute to national progress,” the President stated.
He urged Ghanaians everywhere, including those living abroad, to support efforts to rebuild national values and contribute positively to the country’s growth.
