Vice President Prof Jane Naana Agyeman has urged members of the newly sworn-in Presidential Advisory Group on the Economy to focus on practical solutions that improve the daily lives of Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the Advisory Group, of which she is a member, Prof Agyeman said the government\u2019s goal is to move the country towards long-term stability and shared prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment is to move from crisis management to durable success. We will foster dialogue, intellectual honesty, and collective responsibility, engage across sectors, and deliver actionable advice aligned with Ghana\u2019s long-term development vision,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said that the Advisory Group brings together professionals from different backgrounds and disciplines. According to her, this diversity must be used to shape meaningful solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis advisory group comprises professionals of different backgrounds, perspectives, and experience across diverse disciplines,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Describing herself as a lifelong teacher, the Vice President said she would like to give her colleagues what she called their \u201cfirst piece of homework\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a lifelong teacher myself, I would like to respectfully leave my esteemed colleagues and myself with our first piece of homework,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat is for us to constantly reflect on what the term the economy should mean to our fellow citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that the economy should not be seen as an abstract concept. Instead, it must translate into real improvements in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond an abstract, it should mean many things,\u201d she explained. She listed examples such as \u201cstability for the teacher in the classroom and the nurse on night duty, fair prices and reliable markets for the farmer, predictable costs and access to credit to the trader and small business owner.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that the economy should also ensure \u201cstable incomes, affordable housing and transport for the worker, opportunities and skills for the young person, especially the women, security for the labourer, and decent care for the elderly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn short, our task is sobering,\u201d she said, explaining that the group must help shape \u201cthe kind of support that makes the economy feel less distant and more everyday possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Agyeman stated that economic policy must recognise its direct impact on people\u2019s daily lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo arrive at a reality where effort is rewarded, risks are shared and honest work is not invisible, we must remember the concrete effect of the economy on our people\u2019s lives,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

She cited examples such as \u201cthe safety of the water, the reliability of electricity powering aspirations, and the dignity of their work.\u201d<\/p>\n

She described economic transformation as \u201ca national project\u201d that demands cooperation from all sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt requires discipline, trust, and shared responsibility across the government, the private sector, labour, civil society, and development partners,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

The Vice President pledged the group\u2019s commitment to provide strong and independent guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pledge is to provide independent, serious and practical leadership to support this collective effort,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
