President Mahama breaks ground for modern 24-hour market in Asesewa
President John Dramani Mahama has officially broken ground for the construction of a modern 24-hour market complex at Asesewa on Friday, May 1. President Mahama said the initiative is intended "to drive development at the district level by creating jobs and expanding trading opportunities."
The project is part of a broader national plan to develop 261 ultramodern markets across the country. The planned facility will include 100 lockable stores and 150 open stalls, alongside 36 washrooms. A police post and fire station will also be incorporated. The complex will feature a daycare centre, a pharmacy, and a clinic. A Women's Bank will also be established on-site.
Other components of the project include 10 warehouses, a meat shop, two cold stores, a restaurant with food courts, and a shopping mall with six guest rooms. Provision has also been made for a livestock trading area, a market manager's office, and a lorry terminal. Upon completion, the market is expected to transform Asesewa into a major commercial hub.
