to enable the creation of the Authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy to note that the committee has finished considering it, and it\u2019s supposed to go onto the floor of Parliament to set up the 24-Hour Authority, which would then open the way for implementation and registration of all the businesses that will be involved in the 24-hour economy initiative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the Authority will also clearly define the incentives for participating businesses, noting that early adopters, such as the Ghana Publishing Company, are likely to benefit significantly.<\/p>\n<p>President Mahama urged management of companies to formally register under the 24-hour economy initiative once the Authority is established, expressing confidence that the policy will enhance productivity, strengthen state-owned enterprises, and drive broader economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>ID\/BAI<\/p>\n<p><b>You can also watch more videos from Naser Toure&#8217;s
