President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to present the State of the Nation address to Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, in accordance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution.
This constitutional requirement mandates the President to deliver a message on the State of the Nation at the beginning of each session and before the dissolution of Parliament.
The upcoming address is expected to highlight the government’s main policy objectives for the year, while also offering insights into strategies aimed at improving the current economic conditions.
In earlier remarks made in February, the then Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, informed Parliament of this development, stating, “Mr. Speaker, in line with Article 67 of the Constitution, H.E the President will deliver a message on the State of the Nation on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
Honourable Members are urged to be present for this important event.” This forthcoming address will represent President Akufo-Addo’s second-to-last presentation to Parliament.
