    24hr economy is a real game-changer – Bawah Mogtari

    Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special aide to former President John Dramani Mahama has said that the 24-hour economy idea by the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will create sustainable jobs.

    She said that it would also open up Ghana’s economy and create growth and prosperity for all.

    In a post on her X platform, Bawah Mogtari said “The Mahama 24Hour Economy is a real game-changer, it will create sustainable jobs, open up our economy and create growth and prosperity for all.

    “That’s why we need the extra hours, to expand businesses and create growth for the economy. This will be done for the first time with support from the incoming Mahama administration to ensure that Companies including government and the private sector can fully implement the Mahama24HourEconomy to introduce the three shift approach for jobs and to reset the economy.”

    Earlier, Mr Mahama reiterated that his 24-hour economy idea is what will develop the economy.

    The 24-hour initiative is the answer for now and in the future, he said.

    Addressing Ghanaians on Sunday, June 9, he said “It will create an enabling environment with deliberate policies for businesses, companies, and government institutions to operate 24/7 in a three-eight-hour shift system.”

    In addition to the traditional 8-hour shift system, Mr Mahama said “the two additional work shifts that my administration will introduce will double and sometimes triple the number of jobs that participate in public and private entities that we currently have.

     

    “This is the 24-hour economy optimization strategy: giving more to society, providing efficient service delivery, and generating decent and well-paying jobs.

    “The benefits of this system will include but not limited to; 24-hour port and harbour services, 24-hour customs services, 24-hour DVLA services, 24-hour agro-processing factories, 24-hour manufacturing industries, 24-hour construction companies and many more.”
