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.
During a special live broadcast titled “Mahama Conversations,” whereby national interest topics were discussed, the former president stated that the planned 24-hour economy project holds the key to addressing Ghana’s concerns both now and in the future.
According to Mr. Mahama, the program would foster an atmosphere that will allow enterprises, corporations, and government organizations to hire more people and generate more jobs.
He listed the advantages of the 24-hour economic project, claiming that it will raise and support the living standards of a great number of Ghanaians.
“The 24-hour initiative is the answer for now and in the future. It will create an enabling environment with deliberate policies for businesses, companies, and government institutions to operate 24/7 in a three-eight-hour shift system.
“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.”
