A member of the communications team of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, has noted that Ghana's economy has no time limit.

During an appearance on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, November 25, in response to former President Mahama's idea of a 24-hour economy, Nana Akomea stated that there is no legal or social barrier preventing any business from operating for 24 hours.

He added that it depends on the presence of opportunity or demand rather than any inherent restrictions.

“As we speak, our economy has no time limit. Businesses operate up to 6 pm, some operate up to 10 pm, some operate up to 6 am depending on the opportunities that are available,” he said.

Nana Akomea's comments came in response to former President John Mahama's promise to establish a 24-hour economy as a central part of his campaign for the 2024 presidential election.

While Mahama argued that such a policy would boost economic growth and create jobs, there have been mixed reactions to the proposal.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP flagbearer, downplayed the idea, and Nana Akomea suggested that a 24-hour economy already exists, emphasizing the need to enhance public services and improve street lighting for businesses to operate more efficiently around the clock.
