The President said it is important that his Ministers put their ears on the ground in order to ascertain the challenges of the people so that an appropriate solution could be found to their challenges.


He urged the ministers to bring their experience and expertise to bear and help build a better nation, adding that good governance is about unity and must complement each other’s efforts for a common goal so the government could achieve its mandate.


President Mills said the government is committed to ensuring that the people live a better life as promised. ‘Each one of us will render a separate account for the people of Ghana.’ he stated.

Privilege that they have been chosen. He, therefore, wish them wisdom and knowledge in their endeavours.
