The Member of Parliament for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has assured traders in the municipality, particularly those at Elubo along the Côte d’Ivoire border, of a major economic transformation following the commencement of the flagship 24-Hour Economy Market Project.
The MP, who also serves as Deputy Minister for Transport, said the initiative is expected to improve livelihoods, create jobs and enhance trading activities in the area.
According to her, women, who play key roles in managing households and businesses, will particularly benefit from the project as the 24-hour market system will offer flexibility to balance both family and economic responsibilities.
Madam Affo-Toffey made the remarks during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of the market at Elubo. The event was attended by the Municipal Chief Executive, Benedict Boadi, NDC constituency executives, the President of the Western Nzema Traditional Council, Awulae Kwasi Armachie III, and residents of Jomoro.
“This landmark project is a clear demonstration of the commitment of President John Dramani Mahama and the government to delivering jobs, expanding economic opportunities and transforming communities through the 24-Hour Economy agenda,” she stated.
She added that Elubo’s strategic position as a border town with Côte d’Ivoire makes the project a game changer that will stimulate trade, expand the township and attract more development.
Madam Affo-Toffey explained that the market will be a mini version of the Kejetia Market in Kumasi, designed as an ultra-modern facility with key amenities such as a daycare centre, a women’s bank, a clinic and a fire station.
The President of the Western Nzema Traditional Council, Awulae Kwasi Armachie III, urged residents to put aside their differences and support the project for the benefit of the area.
“We should put aside litigation and focus on development for Jomoro and Ghana. Litigation has not always yielded results, so we must unite and support this development agenda,” he said.
