Speaking on Ahotor FM on Saturday, February 21,2026, he noted that the establishment of a dedicated 24-Hour Economy Secretariat is a move in the right direction. President Mahama recently signed the 24-Hour Economy Authority Bill into law after Parliament approved the legislation on February 6, following days of debate. The newly enacted law establishes a 24-Hour Economy Authority as the central coordinating body responsible for the nationwide implementation of round-the-clock economic activities. Koomson expressed optimism that, if properly implemented, the initiative would stimulate industrial growth, boost productivity, and make a meaningful contribution to Ghana’s long-term economic transformation.
