President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to remain thankful to God despite the devastating floods that recently swept through parts of the country, claiming lives and destroying homes and property.
Speaking during the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, the President acknowledged the pain and loss suffered by many families but encouraged citizens not to lose faith in difficult times.
According to him, although the floods brought grief and hardship, Ghanaians should also be grateful for the many lives that were saved and for the resilience the nation continues to demonstrate in the face of adversity.
President Mahama noted that periods of national crisis should strengthen the country’s unity and faith rather than diminish hope. He urged citizens to support those affected by the disaster through acts of kindness, compassion and solidarity.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to assisting flood victims and implementing long-term measures to reduce the impact of recurring floods. He stressed that government agencies are continuing relief efforts while pursuing infrastructure improvements to better protect vulnerable communities.
His remarks come as emergency responders and relief agencies continue to provide assistance to residents displaced by the recent floods, which caused extensive damage to homes, businesses and public infrastructure in several parts of the country.
President Mahama expressed confidence that with unity, prayer and collective effort, Ghana would recover from the disaster and emerge stronger.
