President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to establish a planning committee for the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving after consultations with the Minister for Local Government and Religious Affairs.
Speaking at a fellowship with the clergy at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Friday, February 28, 2025, Mahama stated, “I shall soon initiate consultations through the Minister for Local Government and Religious Affairs to set up a planning committee for the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.”
The President had earlier declared July 1 as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, dedicated to reflection and gratitude for the nation’s progress.
Addressing chiefs, residents, and supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Western Region on February 5, 2025, Mahama emphasised the significance of the day, stating, “We will have the opportunity as a nation soon to pray and give thanks to the Almighty God, as enjoined by the Holy Book that says, ‘In all things, give thanks.’”
The upcoming committee is expected to oversee preparations for the observance, ensuring nationwide participation in the event.
