President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will this afternoon deliver his first State of the Nation address after winning a second term in the 2020 presidential election.
The address will be delivered before Parliament in accordance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana which mandates the President to present to Parliament the address at the beginning of each session of Parliament.
He delivered the last State of the Nation Address (SONA), which was also a requirement of the 1992 Constitution on January 5, 2021, before the Seventh Parliament dissolved on January 6, 2021.
Tuesday’s SONA will be the first of the 8th Parliament and is expected to recap achievements of the Akufo-Addo-led government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

It is also expected to project into the first of the next four years, government programmes and what strategies the Government intends implementing to achieve them; and rally the people of Ghana towards accelerated national development and progress.
The President would also likely touch on the existence and the position of Ghana, and its role in the comity of nations and international affairs, in addition to measures for improved security and Ghana’s participation in international trade, investment and business.
The House will be privileged to receive the President who is obligated to deliver the State of the Nation Address.
“His Excellency has given an indication to me that he is ready to do the obligation on Tuesday 9th March 2021,” Speaker Alban Bagbin said in the House last week.
Majority Leader and Chairman of Parliament’s Business Committee, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu, disclosed the Address by the President will take place in the tent erected at the forecourt of Parliament.”
