Mahama pledges industrialisation drive to boost 24-hour economy policy

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to spearhead an industrialization drive in Accra, particularly in Amasaman, if elected president in the upcoming December 7 general elections.

Mahama emphasised that this initiative would align with the NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy policy, aiming to address the country’s unemployment challenges.

During his campaign, Mahama visited several constituencies, including Amasaman, Domeabra-Obom, Trobu, and Anyaa-Sowutuom, to promote the party’s key policy proposals.

In Amasaman, he promised to designate the Amasaman-Suhum stretch as an industrial zone, encouraging investors to establish factories and operate under the 24-hour economy policy.

“Everyone goes to Tema to put up a factory. We’ll arrange this place when we come into power. Whoever would want to put a factory would come and put it here. We’ll designate the Amasaman-Suhum stretch as an industrial zone, and they’ll operate under the 24-hour economy policy.”

He also reaffirmed his commitment to improving the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy, and addressing its challenges.
