: President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has just inaugurated a brand-new, state-of-the-art market complex in Akim Oda, Eastern Region . This is a significant milestone in revitalizing the local economy. The complex was built under the District Assemblies Common Fund and is part of the $100 million Ghana Secondary Cities Support Programme (GSCSP) .
The new market replaces the old one that was devastated by a fire in September 2021, which caused widespread economic hardship . But this new complex is a game-changer! It features *over 250 lockable stores*, a clinic, a banking hall, and a creche, providing a secure and comfortable environment for trading activities .
The project is part of a larger initiative to enhance urban development in 25 municipalities across Ghana, backed by the World Bank . This is great news for the local community, and we can expect to see a significant boost in economic activity in the area.
