President John Mahama delivers a bold and thought-provoking speech at the African Heritage Awards in Accra, Ghana, calling for a paradigm shift in how Africa manages its natural resources, investments, and economic future.
In a rapidly changing global order, Mahama emphasises that Africa must move away from dependency and reclaim control of its vast natural wealth from gold and lithium to oil and gas. With humanitarian aid declining and global priorities shifting, he makes it clear: “Africa cannot sit with cup in hand.”
He also highlights the importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area as a powerful tool to boost intra-African trade, unity, and prosperity.
In a heartfelt moment, Mahama reflects on the deep ties between Ghana and Nigeria, stressing that Africa’s strength lies in collaboration, leadership, and shared destiny.
