Goosie Tanoh Welcomes Criticism as Vital to 24-Hour Economy’s Success

Special Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, has stressed the importance of public feedback in shaping the newly launched initiative, describing it as a flexible and evolving programme designed to meet Ghana’s changing economic demands.

Tanoh noted that the 24-hour economy is grounded in science and strong social democratic principles, but emphasized it will adapt over time based on experience and constructive criticism.

“We at the secretariat are confident that we will continue to receive constructive criticism and suggestions for further improvement.

“Criticism is always welcome,” he said at the official launch of the policy on Wednesday, July 2.

Tanoh explained that the programme’s ability to evolve is central to its long-term success.

“We see the 24-hour programme as a living programme, enriched in science and firm social democratic principles, but flexible enough to respond tactically to a changing environment.”

He further added, “This is the only way a programme can transform our society in the short, medium, and long term.”

Tanoh also used the platform to commend President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, describing him as “a true champion of responsible entrepreneurship and national transformation.”

He expressed optimism in Ghana’s capacity to implement the initiative successfully: “We, as a country, we, as a people, have what it takes to succeed.”

As a young woman, I find Tanoh’s words deeply resonant—not just for myself, but for many other young people who have faced the painful reality of joblessness due to years of failed government policies.

The idea that this programme is open to feedback and grounded in practical, responsive planning gives me hope.

If implemented well, it could be the start of real, lasting change.
