Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has highlighted the critical role of Ghana’s Civil Service in driving sustainable national development and translating government policies into effective public services.
Speaking at the 2026 Civil Service Week Celebration and 2025 Awards Ceremony, held under the theme, “The Resetting Agenda for Sustainable Development in Ghana: The Civil Service’s Responsibility,” the Vice President said the Civil Service provides continuity across political administrations, preserves institutional knowledge and brings the technical expertise required to translate policy into action.
She noted that the effectiveness of the Civil Service directly influences the quality of services delivered to Ghanaians across health, education, agriculture, infrastructure and economic development.
Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang said government’s public sector reforms, improved financial management and expenditure controls must ultimately result in institutions that work better and public services that respond more effectively to citizens’ needs.
She commended the Head of the Civil Service and all stakeholders for organising the celebration and congratulated recipients of the 2025 Civil Service Awards for their discipline, integrity, innovation and commitment to public service.
She also acknowledged the many dedicated public servants who, despite not receiving awards, continue to perform their duties diligently, treat citizens with dignity and contribute meaningfully to the Civil Service.
“Public service is a sacred trust placed in our hands by the people of Ghana. As we pursue the Resetting Ghana Agenda, we must remain worthy of that trust.”
