Over 400 companies ready to join 24-Hour Economy – Dr Rashid Pelpuo
Minister of State in Charge of Special Initiatives, Dr Rashid Pelpuo, says more than 400 private companies have expressed interest in operating under Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy policy.
Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, the Minister of State in Charge of Special Initiatives, has revealed that over 400 private companies in Ghana have expressed interest in participating in the country's 24-Hour Economy policy. The government aims to expand this initiative by providing the necessary conditions for businesses to operate continuously, thereby creating more employment opportunities.
Dr. Pelpuo stated that numerous companies have already started implementing 24-hour operations. In an interview with Citi FM, he mentioned that he personally visited around 10 companies running round-the-clock and discussed the challenges they face in maintaining their operations. These businesses have requested support from the government, particularly in securing reliable power supply.
Dr. Pelpuo emphasized that the success of the 24-Hour Economy should not be measured solely by the adoption of three-shift systems in ministries and public institutions. He noted that job creation and employment are part of a broader economic approach, beyond government employment.
