President Nana Akufo-Addo on Tuesday delivered his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) to parliament.
The president touched his plan to improve the economy, develop infrastructure and transform healthcare in the country.
Akufo-Addo announced that his free senior high school education programme would take off in September.
He also announced the restoration of nurses trainee allowances.
He said he inherited a poor economy from former President John Mahama, something he was typified by high public debt and slow GDP growth to back his claim that the economy is challenged.
He said the former administration had 10 times more financial resources than other administrations, but still borrowed heavily, including signing up to a $940 million IMF programme.
Akufo-Addo said the development had caused Ghana's public debt to balloon to 74% of GDP, however he vowed to turn things around and create jobs for Ghanaians.
