President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) at Parliament on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.
This is in compliance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, which provides that the President should deliver a statement on the State of the Country to Parliament at the opening of each session and before the dissolution of Parliament.
The address, which was rescheduled for February, is intended to emphasize the administration’s core policy objectives for the coming year as well as offer information on how the government expects to manage economic conditions.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, explained why the meeting was postponed.
“After extensive discussions, the address has been shifted to the 8th of March. It is for good reason that the President agreed to the date. The 6th is an important date for all of us and there will be a national event in Ho and the President is expected to be there. On the 7th also, definitely, for good reason, it cannot be held. So, we have agreed to sacrifice some assignments and do the SONA on the 8th,” the Speaker noted.
