The 24-hour economy policy is part of a broader strategy to revitalize Ghana’s economy by encouraging night-time business activities, a model that has proven successful in other countries. By allowing businesses to operate around the clock, the policy aims to support small and medium enterprises, reduce unemployment, and stimulate consumer spending. Ofosu’s comments come at a time when Ghanaians are closely watching the NDC’s economic agenda, especially following the party’s recent electoral success. The policy’s progress is seen as a critical indicator of the NDC’s commitment to fulfilling its campaign promises and addressing economic challenges.
UTV Ghana, known for its influential political broadcasts, continues to play a pivotal role in shaping public discourse on national issues. The channel’s live coverage of Ofosu’s interview has not only highlighted the ongoing efforts to implement the 24-hour economy policy but also underscored the importance of transparent communication between policymakers and the public.
As discussions around the policy intensify, UTV’s platform remains a key venue for political figures to engage with citizens, thereby influencing the trajectory of Ghana’s economic future. The interview’s impact is evident from the robust engagement on social media, where users are debating the potential benefits and challenges of the policy’s implementation.
