Tomorrow, February 27th, all eyes will be on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as he takes to the stage at Parliament in Accra to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA).
This highly anticipated yearly address is mandated by Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution and serves as a vital means for the President to provide an overview of the nation’s current state at the beginning of each session of Parliament.
The State of the Nation Address, commonly known as SONA, offers President Akufo-Addo an opportunity to update the nation on various aspects, including the country’s economic recovery program, infrastructural developments, and his commitment to ensuring a free, fair, and transparent election later in the year.
As one of the most significant events on the political calendar, this address enables the President to be held accountable to the citizens through Parliament, providing insights into the government’s achievements, challenges and plans across different sectors.
President Akufo-Addo’s upcoming address marks one of his final opportunities to communicate directly with the public before his tenure ends on January 6, 2025.
The address is expected to be an informative and insightful one, as he highlights the progress made by the government in various sectors and sets out his vision for the future of the country.
