In a significant show of support, the Transport Operators Association of Ghana (TOAG) has thrown its weight behind former President John Dramani Mahama’s proposal for a “Game Changer 24-Hour Economy.”
The association, representing various drivers’ unions, sees this initiative as more than a mere extension of operational hours but as a transformative shift challenging conventional norms.
According to a statement released by the organization, the envisioned transformation of a 24-hour economy is expected to act as a catalyst for heightened productivity, fostering a more responsive and accessible government.
TOAG anticipates that this initiative will empower the workforce, unlocking a realm of accessibility previously constrained by the limitations of time.
A key advantage highlighted by TOAG is the unrestricted access to fueling stations at any time, eradicating concerns about closures. The 24-hour economy is poised to dismantle temporal barriers, ushering in an era of unprecedented convenience for drivers, passengers, and the entire nation.
TOAG believes that the 24-hour economy will serve as a catalyst for progress, creating opportunities for increased economic activities and improved public services. The perpetual operation of the government in a 24-hour economy is seen as a positive step, allowing seamless collaboration with agencies like the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) at any time.
Nana Owiredu, Deputy National Secretary of the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana, expressed gratitude to former President John Dramani Mahama for championing this initiative. The association affirms that all other transport unions are fully supportive of the 24-hour economy proposal.
