Ghanaians to see 24-hour economy jobs in a year or two – Goosie Tanoh
Presidential Adviser on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Augustus Goosie Tanoh, says Ghanaians can expect jobs to be created under the 24-hour economy programme within the next one to two years.
This follows calls by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the government to show the programme’s practical implementation, nearly two years after its introduction.
Speaking to Channel One News on the sidelines of this year’s Africa Bio Conference on Tuesday, October 27, Mr Tanoh said the government was prioritising 10 to 15 projects out of 32 under the programme, with job creation expected as they are rolled out.
“You will begin to see the jobs coming and also begin to see that because we’ve created the basis of production, where industries don’t have to wait for their raw materials because they are being grown and supplied, industries don’t sit still,” he said.
He added that job creation would depend on increased production and demand, noting that the government was laying the foundation to support both.
