Construction works have started on two World Bank-sponsored projects worth GH¢5.53 million at the Akyem Oda Old Premier Market in the Eastern Region.
The projects are 68 lockable market stores and ancillary facilities which come with precast blocks paving 3,000 square metres of the market and a 600-millimetre diameter “U” drain spanning 240 metres.
They are being undertaken under the Ghana Secondary Cities Support Programme.
At the sod-cutting ceremony last Tuesday, the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Seth Kwame Acheampong, advised the two contractors executing the projects the New Era Discovery Company Limited and the Almuscom Company Limited not to only complete them on schedule but to also do quality work.
