Goosie Tanoh, the Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour economy, has revealed that the NDC’s flagship 24-hour economy officially begins on 2nd July, 2025.
On Thursday, June 26, 2025, Goosie Tanoh confirmed the launch date during a presentation of the final policy document to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
The 24-hour economy policy was a key campaign promise for the NDC and John Mahama during the 2024 election campaign.
According to Goosie Tanoh, the 24-hour economy is anchored on three pillars: transforming production, improving supply chain and market systems, and enhancing human capital.
The three pillars will be supported by strategic sub-programmes,
Grow 24 – focused on modernising agriculture,
Make 24 – promoting industrial and manufacturing growth
Connect 24 – Optimising supply chains and distribution
Aspire 24 – fostering a productivity-driven national mindset
Goosie Tanoh stated, “Production transformation, supply chain and market efficiency, and human capital development. These foundational anchors are supported by eight strategic sub-programmes”.
“Roll 24 – which is the agricultural component, Make 24 – which is the manufacturing component, Connect 24 – the supply chain component, Aspire 24 – which is the mindset change, the resetting of the Ghanaian and Ghanaian bureaucracy with a strong and powerful attitude to work and productivity”, he added
Meanwhile, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in parliament, had teased President John Mahama over his flagship 24-Hour Economy.
According to Afenyo Markin, the 24-Hour Economy initiative is a “political gimmick” as the government has failed to deliver on its promised Ghanaians.
He further teased that the 24-Hour Economy initiative has fallen into the water.
Speaking at a Minority press conference following the President’s 120 days address to Ghanaians, Afenyo Markin stated, “It is rich to hear the President tell us in the SONA that the flagship programme, the 24-Hour Economy – also known as 1,3,3: one job, three shifts – will find space in the 2025 budget,” he said. “But what did we hear? Another ‘matriki wo’!”
“Yesterday, as typical of them, they inaugurated another committee responsible for enacting the 24-Hour Economy,” Afenyo-Markin said. “Ei President Mahama… ‘3baa ne s3n?’ 24-Hour Economy atɔ nsuom!”
