The John Dramani Mahama government is launching its flagship 24-Hour Economy policy today, Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
The policy, which is one of the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) key campaign promises ahead of the 2024 general elections, seeks to reduce unemployment by creating more job opportunities through a three-shift working system across key sectors of the economy.
Speaking at a brief ceremony in Parliament on Thursday, June 26, 2025, the Presidential Advisor on the programme, Goosie Tanoh, presented the official policy document to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
He stated that the move was to formally notify the legislature of the government’s readiness to roll out the initiative.
He emphasised the government’s readiness to implement the programme, stating that the policy is grounded in three main pillars: transforming production, improving supply chain and market systems, and enhancing human capital.
“These foundational anchors are supported by eight strategic sub-programmes,” he said.
