The Technical Committee in charge of the roll out of government’s 24-hour policy has officially presented a policy document to the Speaker of Parliament ahead of its formal launch on Wednesday July 2nd 2025.
Leader of the delegation, Augustus Obuadum Tannoh, revealed that the policy is hinged on three thematic areas including production, supply chain and human efficiency with some additional 8 subthemes geared towards boosting job creation and productivity.
“On Wednesday the 2nd of July, His Excellency President Mahama
According to Mr Tannoh, “That is the ambition of all of us in the country. The show Ghana is about a rich, diverse culture that we as a country possess, and which identifies us as who we are, and also establishes our historical legacy, and the importance of that legacy to our diaspora, and also in terms of the various, and most powerful cultural forms, both literary, both in terms of dance, in terms of food.”
Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin underscored the tendency of the policy to transform and further entrench the gains of the country in propelling it towards the future envisioned by the generality of the people.
“We need everybody on board. Once we start categorizing this matter, either on partisan, or religious, or ethnic, or whatever basis, then we have to cut it. We have to make it a national program. One of the things I will proposeis the fact that after the launch, it must be presented to the people’s representatives to give the official term of approval.
“Which means that we have to have the opportunity to debate it and approve. Then get the value of all the organs of government. Also, I’m excited about the fact that the 24-hour economy hasn’t just been a campaign promise, but also being implemented,” Speaker Bagbin said.
This policy is intended to stimulate economic activity and growth by extending operational hours in key industries.
