Ghana's top industry group wants to jump on President Mahama's new economic plan. The Association of Ghana Industries loves the 24-hour economy idea that launched Wednesday. Their leader Seth Twum Akwaboah told JoyNews his members have waited ages for this chance. He thinks the policy will boost factories and create thousands of jobs across the country. The group represents major companies that make products and goods throughout Ghana.
Akwaboah admits his organization felt confused at first about what the plan really meant. They worried about running factories all day and night without enough electricity or money. The group thought it just meant working around the clock without proper support. Many factory owners feared they could not...
President John Mahama rolled out his massive Grow24 plan on Wednesday. The ambitious agricultural scheme promises to transform farming across Ghana. Mahama wants to water over two million hectares of land for crops that grow all year long. He says this bold move will bring back the vision of Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah. The new program forms part of a bigger 24-hour economy project.

Bryan Kohberger changed his mind about fighting murder charges. The 30-year-old criminology student admitted he killed four college students back in 2022.

Four young people died at their house near the University of Idaho campus. Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen were all stabbed to death. Police found DNA evidence on a knife cover at the crime scene. Investigators arrested Kohberger at his family home weeks after the murders. He had been studying at Washington State University nearby.
The case shocked America because of how brutal the...
Ghana's Energy Minister John Jinapor wants to crack down hard on people who steal and smuggle electricity meters. He told Parliament that criminals have been installing these meters illegally across the country. The Electricity Company of Ghana remains the only group allowed to put in new meters for homes and businesses.

The minister revealed that authorities already arrest and prosecute meter smugglers through a special court system. He wants to make the punishments even worse to scare off future criminals. Parliament will receive a draft Legislative Instrument...

Intel's new chief executive Lip-Bu Tan has started swinging the axe at his company's chip-making operations. The computer giant decided to dump its glass substrate project after years of development work. Team Blue had built up a strong lead over competitors with this cutting-edge technology. The firm wants to cut costs and stick to making processors instead of chasing every new trend. Intel will buy glass substrates from other companies rather than make them at home.
The struggling chip maker also pulled back from selling its 18A manufacturing process to outside customers. Intel's foundry division has failed to deliver results for external partners who wanted custom chips made. The 18A technology will still power Intel's future...

Trump wants to copy parts of Biden's old computer chip law for his new plan. The president aims to give sweet deals to tech giants like TSMC when they build more factories on American soil. He used to hate the CHIPS Act and called it a waste of taxpayer money during campaign rallies. The administration sees making computer chips at home as crucial for national security reasons.
The new proposal goes under the name Big Beautiful Bill and could boost tax breaks for semiconductor companies. These firms might see their government credits jump from 20 percent all the way up to 35 percent of their investment costs. Trump previously tried forcing foreign companies to move here through heavy import taxes and trade penalties. Officials have...
