National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has pledged to construct an ultramodern market facility in Savelugu, Northern Region, should he secure victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Mahama outlined that this market would invigorate local commerce by offering traders an organized and spacious setting, aiming to establish Savelugu as a prominent trading center in the area.
Addressing residents during a durbar in Savelugu on Thursday, October 31, he called on them to back the NDC in the upcoming election, reaffirming the party’s commitment to advancing development in both rural and urban communities across 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.”
