John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that his proposed 24-hour economy proposal is the solution to Ghana’s financial and economic problems.
In a unique live broadcast titled ‘Mahama Conversations,’ the former president stated that the planned 24-hour economic project is the solution to Ghana’s current and future concerns.
Mr. Mahama stated that the effort will provide an enabling and supportive environment for enterprises, companies, and government agencies to create more jobs and hire more people.
He detailed the benefits of the 24-hour economy project, which he claims will raise and increase the standard of living for many more Ghanaians.
“The 24-hour initiative is the answer for now and in the future. It will build an enabling environment with purposeful rules that will allow businesses, companies, and government institutions to work around the clock in a three-eight-hour shift structure.
“In addition to the traditional 8-hour shift system, the two additional work shifts that my administration will introduce will double and sometimes triple the number of jobs that participate in public and private entities that we currently have.
“This is the 24-hour economy optimization strategy: giving more to society, providing efficient service delivery, and generating decent and well-paying jobs. The benefits of this system will include but not limited to; 24-hour port and harbour services, 24-hour customs services, 24-hour DVLA services, 24-hour agro-processing factories, 24-hour manufacturing industries, 24-hour construction companies and many more.”
