Even though Ghana 🇬🇭 needs a good road network , our railway sector will also help to reduce vehicular traffic among Accra & other cities too!! Is these road dualization projects going to run under 24hrEconomy policy "Build24"? @JDMahama @Cassielforson @goosietanoh

Ghana welcomes opportunities that serve our people and partnerships that are truly mutually beneficial. With this in mind, I spoke at the Africa Growth and Opportunity: Research in Action forum in Palermo, Italy, where I was invited to deliver a keynote address on job creation in Ghana. I brought warm greetings from His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama and affirmed that job creation in Ghana is not an afterthought, but the heartbeat of our economic transformation. Then, I outlined Ghana’s roadmap for inclusive job creation, built on the 24-Hour Economy framework. It is a bold reorganization of time and productivity to ensure that opportunity never sleeps. Through its interconnected pillars, Grow24, Make24, Build24, Connect24, Fund24, Aspire24, Show24, and Go24, the government is positioning agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, finance, and digital innovation to operate continuously and efficiently. Initiatives like the Feed Ghana Programme and Grow24 are transforming agriculture through irrigation, climate-resilient crops, and logistics integration, while the BRIDGE Initiative supports SMEs with finance and training. The Adwumawura Programme and the One Million Coders Initiative empower youth with practical skills for a digital, green, and innovation-driven economy. These and other efforts reflect Ghana’s resolve to turn research into action and vision into work. Our vision is beginning to yield encouraging results. Inflation has dropped to single digits, the Cedi was named the best-performing currency in Africa this year, and investor confidence is returning. Yet, beyond numbers, the focus remains on people; we must ensure that farmers, artisans, and entrepreneurs see their labour rewarded. Ghana’s Big Push Infrastructure Agenda is creating jobs across sectors, while policies like the Women’s Development Bank and the WAPE Fund are to keep women and youth central to the new economy. Our call is simple: the rhetoric around Africa’s partnerships must evolve to focus on shared prosperity, so that trade, innovation, and technology flow in both directions. Ghana is open to partnerships intended to shape an economic order where work creates progress, and progress restores hope.

The 24-Hour Economy is a bold national plan to create decent jobs, scale local businesses, and improve lives around the clock. From GROW24 boosting productivity in agriculture and trade, to BUILD24 strengthening infrastructure for night-time commerce, every pillar is designed to make Ghana work better, longer, and smarter. Through MAKE24, we’re equipping our youth with the skills for flexible, future-fit jobs. And with ASPIRE24, we’re shifting mindsets to embrace productivity day and night. This is how we build a prosperous Ghana every hour, for every Ghanaian. Visit 24hplus.gov.gh Follow the movement and Tag a business owner. #24hplus #24HourEconomy #jobsforthefuture #ghanaworks

The Akosombo Dam was Nkrumah's crowning achievement in infrastructure, designed to provide the energy backbone for an industrialized Ghana. He understood that without foundational infrastructure, industrial dreams would not be able to come true. The 24-Hour economy policy emphasizes robust infrastructure development ("Build24," "Connect24") including continuous power supply, efficient transport networks (air cargo, inland water transport, cold chains), and dedicated industrial parks with their own utilities. This mirrors Nkrumah's belief in infrastructure as a critical enabler for sustained economic activity.

The 24 hour economy policy acknowledges the diversity of sectors and has sector-specific initiatives. The policy is broken down into thematic areas like "Grow24" (agriculture), "Make24" (manufacturing), "Build24" (infrastructure), "Fund24" (financing), "Connect24" (logistics), "Aspire24" (human capital), and "Go24" (governance), showing a comprehensive approach to structural transformation. This includes establishing industrial parks with their own power, police, and fire services and so on.

@NCC_CCN Given everyone in 🇨🇦 are tightening their belts in this uncertain world, I think the NCC should recommend to the Gov't that this property be sold. A home provided for opposition is not the norm in democratic countries. Proceeds would kick start #Build24 #cdnpoli
