Rashid Pelpuo, Minister-designate for Employment and Labour Relations, has said that President John Dramani Mahama’s proposed 24-hour economy is a transformative initiative aimed at increasing productivity.
On Thursday, January 30, 2025, he told the Vetting Committee that the initiative will help to create jobs and improve the livelihoods of Ghana’s workforce.
The nominee stated that the policy would reshape Ghana’s labour landscape, particularly by reducing youth unemployment and increasing worker pay.
He stated that the policy or initiative is about more than just longer working hours; it is also about ensuring that employees are fairly compensated for their efforts.
“The 24-hour economy is a policy by President John Dramani Mahama proposed to the people of Ghana and it is a commitment to ensure that we engage the Ghanaian worker effectively and to ensure that the 24-hour working arrangement that we have is improved.
“The whole commitment is to increase production by our working class and also earn what they deserve.”
