Bibiani MP cuts sod for 24-hour market project at Sefwi Bekwai
Bright Asamoah Brefo, Member of Parliament for Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai, officially cut sod for the construction of a modern 24-hour economy market at Sefwi Bekwai in the Western North Region. The project forms part of the government's broader 24-hour economy initiative. This initiative is described as a key policy intervention and campaign promise of President John Dramani Mahama aimed at stimulating local economic growth and expanding trading opportunities across the country.
The MP explained that the existing Sefwi Bekwai market is in a deteriorated condition and would require huge financial resources for rehabilitation. He stated that securing the new 24-hour market project offers a more sustainable and economically viable solution for traders and residents within the municipality. He further noted that the community had already made available a suitable parcel of land to support the construction of the large-scale market facility. The project is expected to improve trading conditions, create employment opportunities and enhance commercial activities within the area.
Oyeadeayie Basape Kwadwo Armah III, the Paramount Chief of Sefwi Bekwai, commended the initiative and expressed appreciation to the government and the MP for bringing the project to the community. He stated that the market would help address longstanding challenges confronting traders and market women while contributing significantly to socio-economic development in the area.
