Asante called for stronger collaboration between government agencies and the private sector to drive national development.The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Ga West, Nii Sowah Nai, said the government's proposed 24-hour economy would expand opportunities for businesses, create jobs, and support SMEs.He revealed that the Assembly was developing a tax policy to encourage more businesses to embrace the initiative.Senior Marketing Manager of Bel Aqua, Maxine Opoku Ababio, urged government to reduce import duties on essential raw materials to help ease the burden on manufacturers.She also appealed for improved road infrastructure, stressing that poor roads delay distribution and increase operational costs."Improving the roads will help businesses run smoothly and contribute more to national development," she said.BackgroundMaven Communications, a leading corporate events and brand communications company, is the organising force behind some of Ghana's most prestigious events, including the Ghana Business League Awards, Africa Best Business Awards, Corporate People's Choice Awards, and the HR Summit and Awards.Proceeds from its programmes support the Maven Foundation, which focuses on equipping students and young graduates with practical skills for future success.By: Jacob Aggrey
