Reset Our Values to Build Ghana – Atwima Kwanwoma DCE
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Kwanwoma, Grace Agyemang Asamoah, has urged Ghanaians to embrace integrity, discipline, patriotism and unity to help build the nation they desire.
She made the call on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, during the district’s observance of the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held at the forecourt of the Atwima Kwanwoma District Assembly under the theme, “Resetting Our Values to Build the Ghana We Want.”
Addressing traditional authorities, religious leaders, security personnel, heads of departments, Assembly staff and residents, Mrs. Asamoah described the occasion as a moment for national reflection, repentance and thanksgiving, stressing that Ghana’s development depends not only on government policies but also on the moral values of its citizens.
According to her, values such as integrity, truthfulness, responsibility, selflessness, hard work, excellence, love, peace and unity remain the bedrock of national development.
“When we speak of a reset, we are not saying Ghana has no values. We are saying we must return to what is right, strengthen what is good and correct what has gone wrong,” she stated.
The DCE called on residents to continue promoting tolerance, dialogue and peaceful coexistence while rejecting hatred, misinformation and violence.
She also encouraged the youth to become ambassadors of positive change by embracing discipline, innovation, hard work and patriotism, noting that the future of Ghana depends on their commitment to national values.
Mrs. Asamoah reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to transparency, accountability and inclusive development, adding that every citizen has a role to play in transforming the district and the country.
Touching on sports, she praised the Black Stars for their performance at the ongoing FIFA World Cup, saying their resilience has united Ghanaians irrespective of political, ethnic and religious differences. She urged the public to continue praying for the team as they progress in the tournament.
Delivering the sermon, Reverend Elisha Abu of the International Central Bible Church (ICBC), Atasomanso, urged Ghanaians to pray consistently for the nation to preserve the peace and unity it enjoys.
Preaching from 2 Timothy 2:1-2, he described the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, instituted by President John Dramani Mahama, as a commendable initiative that encourages citizens to seek God’s direction for the country.
Rev. Abu said sincere prayers by citizens would ensure Ghana continues to enjoy peace and stability. He prayed for God to grant the government wisdom to govern effectively and appealed to Ghanaians to remember the security services, public officials and traditional rulers in their prayers.
Christian clergy and Muslim leaders also prayed for President John Dramani Mahama and Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, asking God to grant them wisdom, protection and understanding to steer the affairs of the country successfully. They further prayed for divine intervention in the disasters confronting the nation and for God’s continued protection over Ghana.
The National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, observed annually on July 1, brings together Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths to offer prayers of thanksgiving and seek God’s guidance for Ghana’s peace, unity and sustainable development.
