24-Hour Economy Policy is Open to Criticism - Goosie Tanoh
Accra, Ghana - 2 July, 2025 - Ghana's Special Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, has emphasized the importance of public scrutiny and criticism in shaping the newly launched policy initiative.
Speaking at the programme's official launch on WednesdayJuly 2, Mr. Tanoh described the 24-Hour Economy as a dynamic and science-driven initiative rooted in social democratic values.
The policy aims to unlock Ghana's productivity potential by promoting around-the-clock business activity, increasing employment, and ensuring more efficient use of national infrastructure and resources.
Mr. Tanoh noted that the initiative's long-term success will depend on continuous learning, flexibility, and the willingness to revise strategies based on feedback and evolving circumstances.
“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, enriched in science and firm social democratic principles, but flexible enough to respond tactically to a changing environment,” he said.
“This is the only way a programme can transform our society in the short, medium, and long term,” Mr. Tanoh added.
The Special Advisor also praised President John Dramani Mahama's leadership, describing him as a visionary committed to building a resilient economy anchored in responsible entrepreneurship and inclusive growth.
“We can say without a doubt that our President is a true champion of responsible entrepreneurship and national transformation. We, as a country, we, as a people, have what it takes to succeed,” he noted.
