Agbogbloshie redevelopment: Traders were involved in planning – Accra Mayor
Michael Kpakpo Allotey says Agbogbloshie Market traders were involved in planning the redevelopment project and alternative arrangements have been made for affected traders.
Accra Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey says traders at Agbogbloshie Market were involved in planning the redevelopment project. According to him, alternative arrangements have been made for affected traders.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has stated that it engaged with affected groups and individuals for over three months before the redevelopment project. These engagements included the leadership of the Yam Market, Nzema Market, and Cargo Station, and were aimed at addressing concerns over the project's design and implementation.
There has been controversy over the project, with some accusing the AMA of targeting the Konkomba community. However, Mayor Allotey has rejected this suggestion, saying he has visited the market over 15 times and was involved in marking out the area earmarked for redevelopment. MyJoyOnline Ghana reported that the AMA's consultations began on July 9, 2026.
