Private Security Guards appeal for inclusion in the 24-hour economy program. This 24 hour economy will help and create jobs in the private sector.



The President of the Private Security Guard Association of Ghana (PSGAG), Roland Obibah Mensah, has appealed to the government to include private security guards in the 24-hour economy program.



However, this came after the National Democratic congress (NDC) launched the 24 hour economy program to take effect. This initiative by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a very good policy.



Meanwhile, President of the Private Security Guard Association of Ghana said what every country must first do is the needs to prioritize it's security to ensure the safety of the citizens. 



He emphasized the importance of a robust security framework as a prerequisite for the successful rollout of the National Democratic Congress's (NDC) 24-hour economy initiative, led by President John Mahama.



The 24-hour economy aims to introduce targeted policies across various sectors to establish a three-shift system, enhancing economic output, stimulating growth, and revitalizing the economy.



In an exclusive interview with Apiah-Kubi on Fabea FM, Obibah Mensah stressed the need for private security guards to be included in the program is key at this moment and the government should consider their plight and include them in the 24 hour economy program. 



"To effectively run the 24-hour economy, security is very key and vital," Obibah Mensah stated. 



"Given the security status of the country, private security guards are also crucial in ensuring people's protection," he stressed.



The PSGAG is adapting its security model to strengthen existing protocols and to support the 24-hour economy program run effectively without any harm against the policy.



Obibah Mensah highlighted that the 3-shift strategy will require more security personnel, and therefore, the government should include private security guards in the recruitment process. The Private Security Guards can also help to safeguard lives and properties as the 3 shift includes night duties. Security is very important and everyone working will like to feel safe at this point in time. 



In conclusion, the Private Security Guard Association of Ghana's appeal for inclusion in the 24-hour economy program highlights the crucial role private security guards can play in ensuring the success of the big initiative. The Private Security Guards are ever ready to work under the 24 hour economy.



"By including, as in the recruitment process and leveraging our expertise, the government can enhance security and promote economic growth", Obibah Mensah ended.
