Mahama promises to build a modern market at Aflao to boost trade

John Dramani Mahama, Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to enhance the livelihoods of market women in the Volta Region by constructing the Ho-Dzodze-Aflao road and building a modern market in Aflao.

During an address to traders in the Ho central market as part of his campaign tour, Mahama assured the women of a smoother trading experience, with improved infrastructure to facilitate the free flow of goods and services between Aflao and Ho.

Mr Mahama emphasized the NDC's commitment to development, highlighting that his next administration would focus on building critical infrastructure to support local commerce.

"Our party is known for its developmental and infrastructure works, and my government will prioritize the construction of the Ho-Dzodze-Aflao road and a new market in Aflao to provide comfort for trading activities," he stated.

In addition to these promises, Mr Mahama revealed plans to establish a branch of the National Women's Bank in the Ho Central Market.

This initiative is aimed at providing financial assistance to women entrepreneurs, empowering them to grow their businesses and contribute more effectively to the local economy.

"The National Women's Bank will be here in Ho Central to support your businesses, ensuring that you have the financial resources needed to thrive," Mr Mahama assured the market women.
