Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour Economy policy, Goosie Tanoh, has presented a copy of a document on the policy to Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin.
He presented the document to the Speaker on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
He stated that the presentation forms part of efforts to officially inform ‘the people’s representatives’ about the government’s readiness to roll out the programme.
He disclosed that the president will launch the policy on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
Mr Goosie Tanoh explained that the policy is hinged on three anchors: “production transformation, supply chain and market efficiency, and human capital development” and supported by eight sub-programmes.
“Roll 24 – which is the agricultural component, Make 24 – which is the manufacturing component, Connect 24 – the supply chain component, and Aspire 24 – which is the mindset change, the resetting of the Ghanaian and Ghanaian bureaucracy with a strong and powerful attitude to work and productivity.”
He added that the government will also add a strong digital technology training to the TVET curriculum to train a workforce that is ready to take on employment opportunities.
Additionally, the policy will also include ‘Show Ghana’, an initiative which would deliberately showcase Ghana’s rich cultural heritage to the rest of the world to attract more tourists and increase revenue generation through tourism.
The Speaker, on his part, called for legislation to back the programme, saying that the 24-hour Economy Secretariat must make a deliberate effort to get Parliament to pass a bill to ensure the continuity of the policy.
He went on to disclose that parliament is considering launching a 24-hour system, a move that would create more jobs and a flexible working condition for staff.
