President John Dramani Mahama has cut the sod for the construction of a 24-hour economy model market at Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region, marking a major step toward the implementation of the government’s proposed round-the-clock economic policy.
The project, which forms part of a broader national agenda to stimulate continuous economic activity, is expected to be replicated across all 261 districts in the country.
Speaking during his “Accounting to the People” tour, President Mahama indicated that the model markets will be equipped with modern facilities designed to support traders and boost productivity.
The President also disclosed plans to collaborate with Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, to investigate the destruction of eggs transported from the Dormaa area to Burkina Faso.
Meanwhile, the Omanhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area and President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, appealed to the government to complete the abandoned Agenda 111 hospital project in the Dormaa Central Municipality and other parts of Ghana to improve healthcare delivery.
He also urged the President to investigate the destruction of eggs transported from the Dormaa area to Burkina Faso, which has resulted in a loss of over ten million Ghana cedis to poultry farmers.
