“Let us all, employers and employees, commit to fostering a spirit of collaboration, understanding, and mutual respect. Let us work together to create a more prosperous and equitable Ghana, where every citizen can contribute their talents and skills to national development,” said President Mahama.
The Ghanaian leader praised the dedication and hard work of workers, acknowledging their pivotal role in the country’s progress.
“Today is a special day for our gallant workers. On behalf of the people of Ghana, I celebrate your tireless efforts, dedication, and contributions to our progress as a country and people. My government recognises and deeply values the pivotal role of the Ghanaian worker in driving our national development agenda.
