The former president outlines plans for the creative sector and fulfills promises on healthcare infrastructure.
Today, former President John Dramani Mahama attended the Creative Connect program at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) auditorium in Kumasi. Addressing a large audience at 10 a.m., Mahama shared his vision for the future of Ghana’s creative industry, highlighting strategies to support artists, filmmakers, musicians, and other creative professionals. His plan includes increased funding, infrastructural support, and policy changes aimed at empowering the creative sector.
Following the event in Kumasi, Mahama and his team traveled to Bodom in the Nkoranza district to commission a new health center, a modern medical facility funded and constructed by the Lordina Foundation. In a statement after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mahama expressed his gratitude to the foundation and emphasized the importance of accessible healthcare facilities in Ghana’s rural regions.
The team then made their way to Atebubu, where Mahama officially opened a state-of-the-art, 40-bed maternity ward equipped with modern medical technology. The former president acknowledged the efforts of various partners, especially his wife, Madam Lordina Mahama, whose foundation played a crucial role in bringing the project to fruition. The new ward fulfills a promise Mahama made to the people of Atebubu earlier this year and represents a significant improvement in maternal healthcare for the community.
The phrase “W)mba Dientse!” (meaning “They’ve delivered!”) resonated among attendees at both locations, symbolizing the fulfillment of key promises made by Mahama and his team.
With this series of events, Mahama underscored his commitment to healthcare development and cultural growth, two pillars he views as essential to Ghana’s progress. These initiatives are expected to bolster his standing with voters as he campaigns for the next presidential election.
