A recent study by the Save Ghana Movement has revealed a startling gap in national identity awareness, with only 5% of Ghanaians understanding the true essence of their citizenship.
The findings, unveiled during an exclusive interview with Fabea FM, have sparked concerns about the implications for national development and civic engagement.
Robert Andzie Ansah, the Chief Executive Officer of the Save Ghana Movement, expressed alarm over the results and emphasized the importance of self-awareness in national progress.
“It’s alarming that many Ghanaians don’t truly understand their identity or value,” he stated. “This lack of self-awareness fosters a sense of powerlessness and detachment from the country’s development.”
The research also highlighted politicians’ frequent use of the term “ordinary Ghanaians,” which Ansah believes reinforces social division and an inferiority complex among citizens.
The Save Ghana Movement is now calling for urgent action to promote civic education and encourage citizens to take an active role in governance.
“Ghana is you and me. We must recognize our responsibility in shaping the country’s future,” Ansah stressed. “It’s time for Ghanaians to wake up, value themselves, and demand accountability from leaders.”
The movement’s call for increased public participation in governance has resonated with many, as concerns grow over transparency, accountability, and citizens’ roles in national development.
