Enough of talk, Ghana must now become a nation of builders - Asantehene
Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II called for a national shift from partisan politics to enterprise-driven development on Thursday at the Ghana Business Leaders Conclave held at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), declaring that Ghana "must now become a nation of builders." He stated that Ghana's nearly 70 years of independence had been overly dominated by political rhetoric rather than productive economic transformation. He said, "We have had enough of the talk. Ghana must now become a nation of builders."
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said the future prosperity of Ghana would depend not only on governments creating stable policy environments but also on citizens, entrepreneurs and institutions embracing innovation, discipline and productive enterprise. He stressed that "the decade before us must be a decade of business" and that "this conclave has the potential to mark a turning point in national orientation." He lamented what he described as weakening public trust in leadership across politics, business and public life.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II warned that without rebuilding confidence in leadership and institutions, Ghana risked undermining the foundations of democracy and national cohesion. He noted that "Democracy requires elections but nation-building requires trust. Democracy changes governments but trust sustains societies." The conclave was held under the theme: "Leading with Integrity, Negotiation, Mediation and Ethical Governance for Business Sustainability."
