Former Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Ahmed Ibrahim has cautioned his successor, Mahama Ayariga, to prevent the abandonment of 24-Hour Economy projects, similar to the fate of E-Blocks and Agenda 111 initiatives. Ibrahim, now in charge of the Ministry of Works, Housing and Resources, delivered this message during a transition ceremony.
He emphasized that Ghana cannot afford to invest significant public funds in development projects and have them left unfinished by successive governments. Ibrahim stressed that the incoming minister must ensure the proper implementation and completion of ongoing 24-Hour Economy projects, especially the construction of 24-hour markets, to ensure value for money.
He warned, "What happened to E-Blocks and Agenda 111 should not happen to 24-hour market projects." Ibrahim also advised Ayariga to closely monitor key matters he managed at the ministry, such as chieftaincy affairs, contracts, and ongoing initiatives. He expressed optimism that Ayariga would continue the work already accomplished and maintain continuity in the ministry's programs and projects.
