President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to deliver his penultimate State of the Nation address to Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, as mandated by Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
According to the constitutional provision, the President is required to present a message on the State of the Nation at the beginning of each session and prior to the dissolution of Parliament.
This address serves as an opportunity for the President to outline the government’s principal policy objectives for the year and provide insights into strategies aimed at addressing prevailing economic conditions.

The announcement of the address was made earlier in February by then Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, during a session of Parliament. He stated that President Akufo-Addo would deliver the State of the Nation address on February 27, 2024, in accordance with Article 67 of the Constitution. Members of Parliament were urged to make themselves available for this important occasion.
As the penultimate State of the Nation address, this speech holds significant importance in reflecting on the accomplishments and challenges of the government’s tenure so far. It also sets the stage for the final address, which will be delivered before the dissolution of Parliament.
