A top politician from Ghana's ruling party thinks the country wastes money when people sleep. Henry Osei Akoto says President Mahama's new 24-Hour Economy plan will fix this problem. The government launched this big policy on July 2nd to keep businesses running all day and night. Akoto believes working around the clock will help Ghana compete with other nations. He wants everyone to support this idea because it could bring more jobs and money to the country.
The politician says many other countries already do this smart business approach. Places like Egypt and Morocco keep their economies moving after dark. European nations also stay busy late into the evening hours. Akoto thinks Ghana should copy these successful examples. He says the policy will create chances for young people to find work.
President Mahama promised this plan during his election campaign months ago. The new system will connect different business sectors together. Officials want to change how Ghana thinks about work schedules. The program will cost about 4 billion dollars total. The government plans to put up 300 to 400 million dollars as starting money to attract private companies to join.
