Special Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy Initiative, Goosie Tanoh, has underscored that the policy is a dynamic and evolving programme guided by science and anchored in strong social democratic principles.
Speaking at the official launch of the 24-Hour Economy on Wednesday, July 2, Mr. Tanoh described the initiative as one that is designed to adapt to emerging challenges and changing realities within Ghana’s socio-economic landscape.
“We at the secretariat are confident that we will continue to receive constructive criticism and suggestions for further improvement. Criticism is always welcome. We see the 24-hour programme as a living programme, rooted in science and firm social democratic principles, but flexible enough to respond tactically to a changing environment,” he said.
He emphasised that the success of the programme hinges on its ability to embrace continuous learning, stakeholder feedback, and policy recalibration.
“We will learn many lessons along the way and make numerous adjustments. This is the only way a programme can transform our society in the short, medium, and long term,” he stated.
Mr. Tanoh also commended President John Dramani Mahama for his leadership and vision in driving the initiative forward.
“We can say without a doubt that our President is a true champion of responsible entrepreneurship and national transformation,” he declared.
He concluded with a call to national confidence, expressing optimism about Ghana’s capacity to deliver on the promise of the 24-Hour Economy.
“We, as a country, we, as a people, have what it takes to succeed,” Mr. Tanoh affirmed.
The 24-Hour Economy policy, a flagship promise of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), aims to boost national productivity, expand job creation, and position Ghana as a resilient and competitive economy driven by round-the-clock economic activity.
