One Year On, 24-Hour Economy Secretariat Moves from Planning to Real Action

The 24-Hour Economy Secretariat has marked its first anniversary with a shift from diagnosing problems to actually delivering results. According to a report by GraphicOnline on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, the Secretariat says it has moved past the stage of studying what is wrong with Ghana’s economy and is now focused on making things happen. This marks a new chapter in the government’s plan to keep the economy running around the clock.

In its first year, the Secretariat spent time identifying the challenges that stop businesses from operating 24 hours a day. These include issues with power supply, security, transport, and the way government agencies work. Having understood these problems, the Secretariat is now rolling out solutions and putting structures in place to support businesses that want to operate day and night.

The move from diagnosis to delivery means Ghanaians should begin to see real changes on the ground. The Secretariat is working to create an environment where shops, factories, and service providers can operate at any time without unnecessary hurdles. This is expected to create jobs, boost productivity, and help grow the economy by making full use of every hour of the day.

The 24-Hour Economy is one of the government’s flagship policies, and its success depends on how well the Secretariat can turn plans into action. One year in, the focus is now on results rather than talk. Many Ghanaians will be watching to see whether the promise of a vibrant, round-the-clock economy becomes a reality in their daily lives.

In conclusion, the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat’s shift from diagnosis to delivery is an important milestone. After a year of studying the problems, the time has come to deliver solutions that will benefit ordinary Ghanaians. As the Secretariat enters its second year, the expectation is clear: less talk, more action, and real results that will make Ghana’s economy work for everyone, at any hour.
