President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized the importance of national unity and inclusive development at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration.
He acknowledged the Muslim community’s contributions to Ghana’s development and called for greater efforts to ensure balanced development in Muslim-majority areas.
“I urge all Ghanaians, especially our religious leaders, community elders, and the youth, to keep fostering peace and understanding amongst us.
“Let us reject division, let us reject hatred, and let us reject intolerance. The Ghana we desire can only be built through collaboration and mutual respect,” he stated.
Adding that, “Our Muslim communities have made significant contributions to our development, and I must commend them for this,” he said. “From education and healthcare to business and governance, the influence of our Muslim brothers and sisters is evident throughout the country.”
“Our Zongo communities remain centres for entrepreneurship and cultural enrichment,”
“We must ensure that the development in our Muslim communities is balanced and catches up with the rest of the country."
