The Minister of Food and Agriculture has called on Ghanaians to patronise locally processed food products to help expand local companies and create jobs, noting that Ghana spends about US$3 billion annually on imported food. He said that while local products may initially cost more, increased demand would enable producers to scale up and reduce prices.
President John Dramani Mahama received credentials from ambassadors and high commissioners representing Russia, Malta, Poland, Indonesia, Panama, Armenia, and Tanzania. Mahama highlighted Ghana's healthy relationships with their respective countries and invited them to identify areas of meaningful cooperation, including investment opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, energy, and other sectors as part of Ghana's economic transformation agenda.
Ghana and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark UK-Ghana Growth Partnership agreement worth £215 million, aimed at deepening growth and expanding trade between the two countries. The agreement, signed in London during President Mahama's working visit, includes a £101 million UK-backed initiative to establish a commercial-scale ship repair and dry-docking facility in the Gulf of Guinea.
President John Dramani Mahama has approved the immediate evacuation of 300 Ghanaians from South Africa following renewed xenophobic attacks on black immigrants, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. The move follows a 21-day quit-notice issued to undocumented immigrants in a KwaZulu-Natal town, which Ghana's High Commissioner has vowed to challenge in court.
President John Dramani Mahama has signed three new laws: the Governance Advisory Council Act to promote good governance and institutional integrity, the Value for Money Office Act to review government procurements and curb inflated contracts, and the Legal Education Reform Act to expand access to legal education for aspiring lawyers.
Engineers from the Ghana Armed Forces have cleared 17.75 kilometres of land for the 175.6-kilometre Accra–Kumasi Expressway project, which will connect the Greater Accra, Eastern and Ashanti regions.

President Mahama visited tidal-wave-affected residents of Fuveme and Blekusu in the Volta Region and assured them that US$150 million in World Bank funding for sea defence systems remains intact and will proceed after feasibility studies are completed. He said the government will pursue dredging of the estuary as an interim measure while the long-term World Bank project moves forward.
President John Dramani Mahama cut the sod for construction of a connecting concourse at Kotoka International Airport linking Terminals Two and Three, which will include five passenger boarding bridges, duty-free shops, retail spaces, and lounges to improve passenger experience and aircraft turnaround time.
Two of six affected units at Ghana Grid Company's Akosombo control room have been restored following a weekend fire, adding 280 megawatts to power distribution.
