24hr economy policy has offered hope to Ghanaians – Mahama
According to former president John Dramani Mahama, his 24-hour economy concept is still the most reliable means of achieving appreciable economic growth.

Additionally, he claimed that it is the most effective approach to increase output, satisfy demand, reduce unrestrained imports and the negative consequences they have on our currency and economy, and most importantly, create millions of well-paying jobs for the unemployed.
During the National Democratic Congress (NDC) national policy dialogue, which took place in the Peduase Lodge in the Eastern Region on February 22 and 23, the party’s flagbearer made these statements.
“The 24-hour economy remains the surest way to achieve significant economic expansion, boost productivity, meet demand, curb unbridled imports and their attendant adverse effects on our economy, currency and, above all, generate well-paying jobs for the millions of people without employment.”
The 24-hour economy, he observed, has given hope to the growing number of “restless and despondent people.”
“In particular, the 24-hour economy policy has found resonance with most Ghanaians, especially the youth, as confirmed by both data-based and anecdotal evidence.
This policy has offered hope to our increasingly restless and despondent population that the half measures and mismanagement they see under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, which has plunged us into suffering, will soon give way to more prudent and forward-looking programmes,” he stated.
He added “I am encouraged by the positive feedback and input we continue to receive on the proposal from our compatriots in organised labour, academia, business, and industry.
This fits in perfectly with the consultative approach informing our policy formulation. I can reveal the completion of a policy/strategy document on the proposal, which we will soon share with the people of Ghana.
