President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to establish a 24-Hour Authority to drive the implementation of the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy, a move aimed at stimulating economic activity, expanding job creation, and attracting investment across the country.
The President made the disclosure on Thursday, January 8, during a visit to the Ghana Publishing Company, where he commended management for adopting forward-looking operational strategies, including a two-shift system, in anticipation of the policy’s rollout.
According to him, the proposed Authority will serve as the central coordinating body for the 24-Hour Economy, with responsibility for registering participating businesses, setting operational guidelines, and administering incentives to encourage round-the-clock economic activity.
