President John Dramani Mahama has cut the sod for the construction of a 24-hour model market in Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region, as part of efforts to roll out his administration’s 24-hour economy agenda.

Speaking at the ceremony, President Mahama assured that all 261 districts across the country will benefit from similar projects aimed at stimulating local economies and creating jobs.

The Dormaa Ahenkro market, which is part of the President’s ongoing “Resetting Ghana” tour, is expected to serve as a modern economic hub. The facility will include key amenities such as a police station, fire station, clinic, model school, restaurants, a bank, and other services to support continuous commercial activity.

According to the President, the initiative is designed to decentralise economic development and bring essential infrastructure closer to communities, particularly those in underserved areas.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring that every district benefits from the 24-hour economy policy, describing the model markets as a central pillar in efforts to revitalise Ghana’s economy.
