President John Mahama will launch his famous jobs program on Wednesday, July 2nd. The 24-Hour Economy plan was a major promise during the 2024 election campaign. Mahama wants businesses and government offices to stay open around the clock. The program aims to create more jobs and help the country make more money. Workers will take turns on different shifts to keep things running day and night.
Goosie Tanoh works as the president's advisor on this new plan. He told Parliament about the official launch date last week. The government will start with its offices first before asking private companies to join. They plan to focus on factories, hospitals, farms, and delivery services. Each area will slowly add more hours of operation.
Parliament itself will be the first government office to try the new system. Speaker Alban Bagbin says his workers will start early and finish late. Staff members will arrive at 8 in the morning and might stay until 10 or 11 at night. The Speaker says Parliament has more work than people realize. He believes the longer hours will help them catch up on all their tasks.
The government will offer rewards to businesses that join the program. Companies that agree to run shifts will get special benefits. Officials hope this will convince more employers to hire extra workers. The plan will start small and grow bigger over time. Leaders believe this approach will help solve the country's job shortage problem.
