A law lecturer at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Law School, Ishaq Ibrahim, has criticised President John Dramani Mahama’s recently announced 120-day social contract, describing it as uninspiring and lacking depth.
According to him, President Mahama’s achievements under the 120-day social contract would amount to that of a struggling student at UPSA.
“Don’t praise Mahama for low-hanging fruits; in UPSA, he’d be a struggling student,” he claimed.
The lecturer made these remarks during a panel discussion on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV, aired on May 8, 2025, and monitored by GhanaWeb, where the president’s 120-day social contract came under scrutiny.
President Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), unveiled the 120-day social contract on May 7, 2025, as part of his campaign promises, pledging swift interventions in areas such as job creation, healthcare, and governance reforms.
However, Ibrahim argued that the proposals are largely superficial and do not reflect the urgency or innovation required to address Ghana’s most pressing challenges.
“These are not transformative ideas. They are easily achievable targets that any serious government should already be implementing without fanfare,” he added.
