Special Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, states that the newly introduced policy initiative is subject to public examination and ongoing contributions, emphasizing that criticism is essential for its success.
During the official launch of the program on Wednesday, July 2, Mr. Tanoh remarked that the 24-Hour Economy is a dynamic, science-based initiative grounded in social democratic values, designed to adjust to the requirements of a shifting national landscape.
“We at the secretariat are assured that we will continue to receive constructive criticism and recommendations for further enhancement. Criticism is always appreciated. We view the 24-hour program as a living entity, enriched by scientific principles and strong social democratic values, yet adaptable enough to respond strategically to a changing environment,” he stated.
He pointed out that the long-term success of the initiative will rely on ongoing learning, adaptability, and the readiness to modify strategies based on feedback and changing conditions.
“This is the sole method by which a program can transform our society in the short, medium, and long term,” Mr. Tanoh added.
He also praised President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, characterizing him as a visionary dedicated to establishing a resilient economy based on responsible entrepreneurship and inclusive growth.
“We can assert without hesitation that our President is a genuine advocate for responsible entrepreneurship and national transformation. We, as a nation, we, as a people, possess the capability to succeed,” he remarked.
The 24-Hour Economy initiative aims to unlock Ghana’s productivity potential by encouraging continuous business operations, increasing employment opportunities, and ensuring more efficient utilization of national infrastructure and resources across various sectors. The program is anticipated to establish a strong foundation for job creation, industrial growth, and economic resilience.
