President John Dramani Mahama has outlined a sweeping set of reforms aimed at delivering transparency, job creation, and national renewal, as his administration marks its first 120 days in office under the banner of “Resetting Ghana.”
In a national address, President Mahama assured Ghanaians that his government is resolutely fulfilling the promises made at the outset of his new mandate. He described the initial phase of his leadership as one defined by urgency, decisive action, and a renewed commitment to integrity.
“Resetting Ghana is not a slogan. It is a comprehensive framework for transformation that touches every sector—from governance to the environment and from the economy to national security,” the president said.
Mahama detailed a series of initiatives already underway, including the formation of a lean government, enforcement of a new code of conduct, the elimination of unpopular taxes, and the institution of accountability mechanisms for public officials.
The government has also launched new employment programs, begun environmental restoration efforts, cracked down on illegal mining, and restructured scholarship schemes to ensure fair access.

Additionally, efforts to reinvigorate Ghana’s tourism and export sectors are expected to boost economic growth and job creation.
“These are not symbolic reforms,” Mahama stressed. “They reflect a new way of doing government—one grounded in results, transparency, and inclusion.”
The President was emphatic about his personal dedication to the reform agenda, declaring, “I take my promises seriously. My word is my bond.”
Observers view Mahama’s first 120 days as a critical litmus test for his administration’s ability to pivot from campaign promises to concrete delivery. As the Reset Ghana blueprint moves forward, public attention is likely to focus on the outcomes of the ongoing investigations, economic revival efforts, and public service reform.
