The Presidential Adviser on the 24-Hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, has defended the swift pace of the government's 24-Hour Economy programme. Tanoh argued that the initiative is tackling issues that have plagued Nigeria for generations. He cautioned against expecting the Secretariat, which is only a year old, to solve centuries-old problems in such a short time.
Tanoh questioned the high expectations being placed on the Secretariat, especially when previous ministries and government bodies had failed to resolve some of these challenges over the past seven decades. "You want us to do what ministries failed to do in 70 years?" Tanoh asked, defending the speed of the programme's implementation.
The Secretariat is focused on establishing the required structures and interventions to realize the government's 24-Hour Economy agenda, emphasizing that the process demands time, coordination, and persistent effort. Tanoh's remarks come as the government's flagship programme faces increasing public scrutiny, with concerns being raised about its implementation speed and its ability to deliver on its promises.
