President John Dramani Mahama has begun a two-day working visit to the Volta Region, starting with the launch of a new market project in Juapong.
The visit forms part of the government’s nationwide Resetting Ghana Tour, which focuses on inspecting development projects and engaging directly with communities.
The President officially cut the sod for a proposed 24-Hour Economy Market, a project designed to support trade and local economic activity.
According to the Presidency, the Juapong market forms part of the government’s 24-Hour Economy programme.
Officials say the project aims to create a modern trading environment while encouraging business activity beyond traditional working hours. The government expects the initiative to improve opportunities for traders and stimulate local commerce.
During the tour, President Mahama is expected to inspect several ongoing infrastructure projects across the region. These include major road projects, educational facilities and healthcare infrastructure.
The President will also visit the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) to inspect a multipurpose laboratory project.
The tour also includes a Resetting Ghana Citizens’ Engagement at Ho Technical University. The event is expected to bring together residents, traditional leaders, students and other stakeholders.
Government officials say the forum will allow citizens to discuss development priorities and receive updates on national policies.
President Mahama is also scheduled to attend activities linked to the government’s Free Primary Health Care Programme. In addition, he is expected to commission the Akatsi North District Police Headquarters at Ave-Dakpa.
Officials say the projects reflect ongoing efforts to improve public services and strengthen security infrastructure.
Regional Tour Continues
The Presidency says the Volta Region visit forms part of a broader nationwide programme.
The initiative allows government officials to monitor public projects, launch new developments and engage directly with local communities.
Officials say similar visits will continue in other regions as part of the government’s development agenda.
