Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare‑Addo, says the government’s 24‑hour economy program will be fully operational by the end of 2026. He told Nhyria FM’s “Kro Yi Mu Nsɛm” show, hosted by Barima Kofi Dawson, the government is on track and is working to ensure the policy is properly integrated into the system. The minister acknowledged that overhauling a structure that has run on an eight‑hour work model for decades is not easy and will take more than a year. “Changing the whole structure of an economy that has been granted for years from 8‑hour to 24‑hour cannot be done in less than 12 months. You need legislative measures and directives, and those processes have been completed,” he explained.
