Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo added, I know it won’t reach all the churches in the Abuakwa North Municipality , but they should manage this ones for us and in appropriate time we will come and add more to it.

“We are very much appreciated for the rehabilitation of our 25yrs abandoned Akuadjoo market”.

The Odikro of Akuadjoo a suburb in Nkawkaw in the Kwahu West Municipality, Nana Asare Amo Gyimah II, has shown his appreciation to President Akufo-Addo and His MCE for Kwahu West Municipal Assembly, Hon. Lawyer Yaw Owusu Addo, for rehabilitating their abandoned Akuadjoo market.

According to the Odikro, this decayed market has given him a sleepless night for the past 25yrs and over. I and other chiefs have had several dialogue with all the previous administration of the Assembly but none of them came into our rescue.

Nana Amo Gyimah adds, they are happy that , Hon Lawyer Yaw Owusu Addo and his administration has taken it upon their shoulders within 3yrs to rehabilitated and commissioned the Akuadjoo market for us.

He spoke with kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH in an interview. This market will purposely use for selling of the second clothing ( phoose) and other unconsumable goods. The market has 100 shades.

The MCE for Kwahu West Municipal Assembly Hon. Lawyer Owusu Addo said, he is very happy for commissioning this project and is one of the beautiful markets in the municipality. Over 25yrs now when the market was built nobody has gone there to sell because of their superstition believes.

There is so many allegations that, if you sell over there people don’t buy their items, and adding they says gods and juju has taken over the place and it looks like as if they have cursed the market. But I can see it as economic matter.

Hon. Owusu Addo stressed, the same market people who sells in the main market has gone for the Akuadjoo market for the past 20yrs without using it and leaving the market to be rotten. The welfare of the market men and women are our priority.

I’m going to give out the Akuadjoo market for free for those who are willing to go there to sell. All those who have papers of that market for the past 20yrs has expired and I have cancelled them. We are paving ways for the new people to take over the market.

Later on Kingdom News spoke with the some of the market women who have move into the new market and they also show their profound gratitude to the assembly for the wonderful work done.
