Adenta traders fear existing market may be abandoned over new 24-hour project

Adenta market vendors have expressed worry that the government's proposal for a new 24-hour market may lead to the neglect of their current facility. The traders questioned the wisdom of spending funds on a new market when the existing one, which houses hundreds of vendors, could be renovated and improved instead. Speaking to Adom News, several traders pointed out that the current Adenta Market was built by the government under the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) during the NDC administration.

They argued that the existing facility continues to serve traders and residents, and therefore requires upgrades rather than replacement. The traders urged the government to reconsider the new project and allocate resources towards enhancing the existing market to provide a superior and more comfortable trading environment. They also demanded thorough consultations with traders and other stakeholders before any decision is made on the proposed 24-hour market.

According to them, involving the affected traders would help address their concerns and prevent the existing facility from deteriorating. The proposed project has left traders uncertain about the future of the current Adenta Market and whether the new facility will complement or eventually replace it.
