24-Hour Economy must go beyond slogans – AGI President demands concrete action
The President of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Seth Twum Akwaboah, has urged government to move beyond slogans and focus on the concrete policies and programmes needed to make Ghana’s 24-hour economy work.
Seth Twum Akwaboah, President of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), has called for concrete actions to make Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy a success, urging the government to go beyond slogans. Akwaboah emphasized that the success of the policy should be measured by the practical steps taken to change the status quo rather than the popularity of its name.
He urged the government to pay close attention to the development and implementation of the policies, focusing on the consultative nature of policy development and the specific activities within the policies designed to bring about change. Despite initial uncertainties about the policy's clarity, Akwaboah noted that consultations with government have helped clarify the initiative.
He cautioned against expecting overnight transformations, comparing the situation to the previous government's 1D1F initiative, where similar expectations led to unrealistic expectations. According to Akwaboah, the focus should now be on specific interventions needed to operationalize the 24-Hour Economy. He highlighted the government's progress in launching a blueprint for the initiative, which contains ideas that could transform economic activity if properly implemented.
AGI's support for the policy remains strong, and the association is actively engaged with the 24-hour economy secretariat to ensure its implementation.
