24-Hour economy visionary, aims to transform Ghana – Abuga Scooby.
He further noted that the NDC government is taking deliberate steps to fix the country’s economic challenges inherited from the previous administration to create a solid foundation for the full rollout of the 24-Hour Economy.
Benjamin Biadana Abuga, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Team in the Navrongo Central Constituency, has described the NDC’s 24-Hour Economy policy as a “visionary and unprecedented” initiative aimed at transforming Ghana’s development landscape.
Reacting to concerns raised by the Centre for Policy Scrutiny (CPS) regarding the policy’s financial viability and implementation readiness, Abuga said the Think-Tank’s acknowledgment of the policy’s potential is proof of its credibility and foresight.
Speaking on the Big Mike Breakfast Show on Wednesday, October 22, he stated:
“I am a very proud member of the NDC today when I have to discuss issues concerning the 24-Hour Economic Policy. It speaks to the fact that the NDC is a party of vision and that we have always set the pace.”
“So far, Ghana is the first African country that has set out to run a 24-hour economic policy, and that’s visionary.”
Abuga further praised the CPS for recognizing the policy’s potential despite its criticisms.
“I admire one thing about the CPS, for them to admit that the policy is worth it and holds so much potential is enough to tell you the weight of the policy,” he added.
He further noted that the NDC government is taking deliberate steps to fix the country’s economic challenges inherited from the previous administration to create a solid foundation for the full rollout of the 24-Hour Economy.
“We all know the state of our economy when President Mahama took over from the NPP. The only difference is that the NDC doesn’t run on excuses.”
“You never heard President Mahama say things cannot be done, even though it was common knowledge that the economy faced a lot of problems. He faced the challenges and addressed them,” Abuga emphasized.
According to him, the 24-Hour Economy policy will be driven primarily by the private sector, with government playing a facilitating and regulatory role.
“Their opinion is that it lacks the needed financial grounding, right? I want to remind them that His Excellency John Mahama and every communicator has indicated that government will ensure the implementation of the policy, but much of it will be run by the private sector,” he explained.
