Ahmed Ibrahim, the outgoing Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, has cautioned his successor, Mahama Ayariga, to prevent the same fate from befalling the 24-Hour Economy initiative. The 24-Hour Economy initiative, which includes the construction of 24-hour markets, has been plagued by incomplete projects due to funding and contractual issues, similar to the E-Block and Agenda 111 projects that were abandoned by previous administrations.
Ibrahim, who is now reassigned to the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Resources, stressed the importance of properly implementing ongoing projects under the 24-Hour Economy initiative to ensure value for money. He urged Ayariga to focus on key issues related to chieftaincy matters, contracts, and ongoing initiatives. Ibrahim expressed confidence that Ayariga would continue the work and maintain continuity in the ministry's programmes and projects.
The E-Block programme aimed to construct community day senior high schools across Ghana, but many projects stalled due to funding and contractual challenges. Agenda 111 was a government programme to build healthcare facilities across Ghana's districts, including hospitals in districts without existing hospitals. However, this project suffered from funding and implementation issues, with many projects left incomplete.
