Amid a flurry of excitement among the Chiefs and residents of Akim Oda, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo officially opened the brand-new, state-of-the-art market in the Eastern region’s Birim Central Municipality.
A fierce fire destroyed the old, deteriorating market in September 2021, uprooting numerous diligent vendors and destroying hundreds of sheds and goods.
Part of the $100 million Ghana Secondary Cities Support Program (GSCSP), the project was built under the District Assemblies Common Fund.
In 25 municipalities around Ghana, it is one of the World Bank-backed initiatives being carried out expressly under the Urban Development Grant (UDG).
With more than 250 lockable stores and other amenities including a clinic, a banking hall, and a creche, the updated market blocks are composed of multi-story structures arranged around the market’s four corners.
The District Assemblies Common Fund Secretariat and its Administrator, Irene Naa Torshie Addo, were commended by President Akufo-Addo for their efforts.
