What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has questioned former President John Dramani Mahama’s proposed 24-hour economy policy, challenging the foundation of such an initiative without a strong entrepreneurial base.

Speaking at the IEA Evening Encounters on the 1st of October in Accra on Tuesday, October 1, Mr Kyerematen argued that without enterprises and entrepreneurs to drive the economy, the vision of a 24-hour economy would be difficult to realise.

He emphasised the critical role of businesses in sustaining economic growth, stating that creating an environment where enterprises can thrive is essential for any ambitious plan such as Mahama’s.

According to Kyerematen, the success of a 24-hour economy hinges on the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate and create jobs, driving production and service delivery around the clock.

Mr Kyerematen further explained that his economic strategy focuses on empowering businesses through policy reforms and support for local entrepreneurs.
