Accra, Ghana – Former President John Mahama has announced a groundbreaking policy initiative aimed at transforming Ghana into a 24-hour economy. The plan, unveiled during his campaign tour, seeks to expand the country’s economic activities beyond the traditional 8-hour workday.
According to Mahama, the 24-hour economy policy will stimulate significant economic growth, increase productivity, and create new job opportunities. The initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for goods and services, reduce reliance on imports, and generate well-paying jobs for Ghanaians.
The policy proposal includes measures to:
- Encourage businesses to operate extended hours
- Invest in infrastructure development to support nighttime economic activities
- Enhance security measures to ensure safety and security during late-night operations
- Provide incentives for entrepreneurs and small businesses to adopt the 24-hour economy model
Mahama believes that this innovative approach will position Ghana as a hub for economic activity in West Africa, attracting investments and talent from across the region. The 24-hour economy plan is a key component of his campaign’s focus on economic development and job creation.
