Emmanuel Owusu, National President of the Graduate Students' Association of Ghana (GRASAG), has expressed optimism about the 24-hour economy proposal put forth by National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama. Owusu believes that the policy has the potential to significantly transform Ghana's market landscape.
The initiative aims to facilitate round-the-clock operations for certain businesses and companies, with the goal of enhancing productivity, competitiveness, and job creation.
During the unveiling of the GRASAG research report on “The 24-Hour Economy,” Mr. Owusu shared his views, expressing hope that the recommendations from the report would be seriously considered if Mahama assumes office again.
He emphasized the potential impact of the 24-hour economy on information technology and internet access, highlighting the importance of digital infrastructure in today's world.
Implementing the 24-hour economy, according to Owusu, would not only increase productivity and create jobs but also enhance service delivery, align with Ghana's socio-economic objectives, stimulate innovation, attract foreign direct investment, foster sustainable growth, and position Ghana as a global competitor.
Owusu expressed the collective belief among GRASAG members that the 24-hour economy has the capacity to transform the country. He expressed hope that Mahama, if elected president, would consider these recommendations for implementation.
