Some onion sellers at Agbogbloshie in Accra are appealing to government to give them more time to adequately prepare for their relocation to Adjen Kotoku in the Ga West Municipality.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey on Thursday, May 20, 2021, issued a seven-week ultimatum to onion traders in Accra to relocate from Agbogbloshie to Adjen Kotoku.
But as the deadline, July 1, 2021, draws closer, the onion traders want more time to adequately prepare for the move.
“It is unfair for the Minister to give us a short notice to relocate. We pleaded with him for more time, but he did not heed to it. Besides, the stalls that have been provided are not good enough for selling onions. We have not said that we’ll not move; we are only begging for more time to put things together,” a trader said.
Another trader said “1st July is a few days away, we won’t b ready by then. We are pleading with the Regional Minister to give us some more time.”
A new market was established at Adjen Kotoku over a decade ago in a bid to decongest the central business district.
That market however remains unused.
