WATCH LIVE: Official launch of 24-hour Economy

The government of President John Dramani Mahama is officially launching its much-anticipated 24-Hour Economy policy today, Wednesday, July 2, 2025.

This initiative, a major campaign promise of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2024 elections, aims to tackle unemployment by introducing a three-shift working system across critical sectors of the economy, thereby creating more job opportunities.

At a short event in Parliament on Thursday, June 26, 2025, Goosie Tanoh, the Presidential Advisor on the programme, handed over the official policy document to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.

He explained that the purpose was to formally inform the legislature of the government’s plans to begin implementing the programme.

Tanoh noted that the policy is built around three key pillars: transforming production, improving supply chains and market systems, and enhancing human capital. These pillars, he added, are supported by eight specific strategic sub-programmes.
