Description

When four university students—Kojo, Abena, Mariama, and Selorm—are assigned a semester-long project on Ghana’s emerging 24-hour economy, they expect a straightforward research task. Instead, they step into a world brimming with hidden stories, unseen dangers, and extraordinary individuals who work while the rest of the nation sleeps. Travelling from Accra to Kumasi, Cape Coast to Tamale, and Tema to Takoradi, the students witness firsthand the continuous work that powers Ghanaian cities. From factory floors to night markets, from harbour operations to hospital emergency rooms, each encounter reshapes their understanding of urban life. Yet along the way, they discover an unsettling pattern—strange disruptions, mysterious figures, and signs of organised interference within the night economy.
Their academic investigation quickly transforms into a race against time as they unravel a deeply buried truth threatening Ghana’s stability. Guided by unexpected allies and haunted by shadows from the past, the group must navigate growing danger while holding onto their friendship and courage. The City That Never Sleep is both a thrilling urban adventure and a powerful educational story.
