IN A GROUNDBREAKING announcement, President John Dramani Mahama outlined his vision for a 24-hour economy during his inaugural address.
The innovative approach aims to position Ghana as a hub of economic activity, leveraging round-the-clock markets, enhanced agribusiness and increased public service accessibility to drive national progress.
Mahama emphasized the potential benefits of this model, which include job creation, increased foreign investments and a revitalized local industry. “Imagine a Ghana where businesses never sleep, where public services operate around the clock and where opportunities abound for everyone willing to work hard,” he stated passionately.
The president highlighted agriculture and agribusiness as key sectors that would drive this new economic model, promising to provide support to farmers and entrepreneurs to maximize productivity. He also pledged to review and streamline the tax regime to create a business-friendly environment that encourages innovation and investment.
The 24-hour economy model, Mahama explained, is more than just an economic policy — it represents empowerment and inclusivity. By allowing flexibility in business operations, the plan seeks to cater to diverse lifestyles and foster a culture of innovation, ensuring that all Ghanaians can contribute to national development.
