By John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to construct an ultramodern market facility in Savelugu, Northern Region, if he is elected in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Mahama noted that the proposed market aims to enhance economic activities by offering traders a well-organized and spacious environment, thus positioning Savelugu as a key trading hub in the region.
Addressing residents at a durbar in Savelugu on Thursday, October 31, Mahama urged the community to rally behind the NDC in the upcoming elections, emphasizing his party’s commitment to the development of both rural and urban areas throughout Ghana.
“There are many things that the NDC has in its manifesto for the people of Ghana. My sister who just spoke, talked about the Women’s Development Bank. We are going to create branches of the Women’s Development Bank everywhere. And one of the places we will create it is in the Savelugu market.
“We are going to modernise the Savelugu market, build a modern market for Savelugu. We have a programme called the Market Enhancement Programme.
“Anytime I pass here on the Savelugu Market Day if you see the number of people at the market, and so it is one of the markets we are going to prioritise, we are going to build a modern market so that people will be attracted to come to Savelugu to come and trade.”
