Business News of Monday, 26 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has cautioned that Ghana’s proposed 24-hour economy policy should not be expected to deliver significant results within its first year of implementation. According to him, critical areas such as infrastructure, regulation, security, and energy supply must first be aligned before the policy can deliver meaningful outcomes. “A functional 24-hour economy requires reliable and uninterrupted power supply, enhanced security in some areas, and an efficient public transport system, particularly for night operations,” he explained. “Only the textile sector, which employed about 25,000 workers in the 1970s, now has less than 1,500 in employment. The 24-hour economy is meant to address these challenges and attract investors to reactivate businesses,” he said.
