Nkoranza 24-hour economy market project 5% complete as minister threatens contract termination
The government’s ambitious vision of a 24-hour economy has hit a rocky patch in the Bono East Region, as the Nkoranza Municipal Assembly’s flagship modern market hub is severely behind schedule.
The ambitious Nkoranza 24-hour economy market project in Ghana's Bono East Region is only 5% complete, falling far short of the 25% expected on schedule, according to Bono East Regional Minister Francis Owusu Antwi. During a critical inspection, the minister voiced his dissatisfaction at the contractor's lack of progress, warning of potential contract termination if no significant improvements are seen in the near future.
The project, part of the government's national effort to establish 24-hour commercial hubs across all districts, aims to revolutionize the local economy by providing round-the-clock banking, storage, warehouses, health services, and security. However, the project's current state paints a picture of stagnation, with the contractor promising urgent measures to catch up but the stakes remain high for Nkoranza's residents and traders who stand to gain significantly from the economic transformation the project promises.
