We must fight corruption – Mahama urges African leaders

President John Dramani Mahama has urged African leaders to intensify the fight against corruption, which he described as a significant barrier to development.

Speaking at the Presidential Session of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2025 in Accra, Mahama stressed that corruption drains nations of the resources essential for economic growth.

He called for action, urging leaders to act with urgency and determination to build a self-reliant, resilient, and globally competitive Africa.

Citing Kwame Nkrumah, Mahama emphasized unity and collaboration among African nations to achieve economic transformation.

The conference, which also featured leaders like Presidents Faure Gnassingbé of Togo and Azali Assoumani of the Comoros, was organized by the Africa Prosperity Network, aimed at advancing Africa's prosperity and integration.
