Mahama urges recognition of public servants' sacrifices as Ghana marks one year since helicopter crash
President John Dramani Mahama called on Ghanaians to appreciate and honour public servants while they are still serving, rather than waiting until tragedy strikes, at the National Inter-Faith Memorial Service held in Accra to mark one year since a military helicopter crash. He stated, "Much of their work goes unnoticed. They travel long distances. They spend countless hours away from their families. They endure difficult conditions. They make decisions under pressure. They accept risks because they believe that Ghana's progress is worth every effort."
The helicopter crash claimed the lives of eight state officials and military personnel. President Mahama noted that public servants often endure difficult conditions, spend long periods away from their families, and take risks due to their commitment to national development. He urged Ghanaians to develop a culture of recognising dedication and sacrifice as public service is performed daily. President Mahama also expressed condolences to the families of the eight victims on behalf of the government and people of Ghana.
