Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has promised to improve the livelihoods of market women in the Volta Region by upgrading the Ho-Dzodze-Aflao road and constructing a modern market in Aflao.
Speaking to traders at the Ho central market during his campaign tour, Mahama assured them of a more seamless trading experience, with enhanced infrastructure to ease the flow of goods and services between Aflao and Ho.
Mr. Mahama underscored the NDC’s dedication to development, stating that his next administration would prioritize building essential infrastructure to bolster 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.
Alongside these commitments, Mr. Mahama announced plans to open a branch of the National Women’s Bank in the Ho Central Market.
This initiative seeks to offer financial support to women entrepreneurs, enabling them to expand their businesses and make a stronger impact on 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.
