President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to creating jobs and empowering the youth through his 24-hour economy policy.
He emphasized that this policy is not merely a slogan but a bold and transformative initiative aimed at reducing the unemployment rate in the country.
“Our 24-hour economy policy is not just a slogan; it is a bold and transformative initiative that we believe will open up employment opportunities across multiple sectors, particularly in business development, agriculture, agri-business, manufacturing, and digital technology”.
Speaking during his maiden President Mahama Fellowship with the Clergy at the Accra International Conference Center on Friday, February 29, 2025, he reiterated his commitment to making Ghana a hub for agricultural exports.
“A nation that cannot feed itself cannot prosper, and that is why we are making interventions, especially in the agricultural sector. Our goal is to make Ghana self-sufficient in food production and become a major exporter of agricultural products by modernizing farming techniques, investing in agro-processing, and supporting our farmers,” he said.
He further stated that government will lay a solid foundation for a prosperous future for the country.
