When we thought all Hope was lost, he gave us the assurance that the new market would be established. True to his words Gomoa Afransi now has a new market Center.

Commissioning of Gomoa Afransi New Market is a landmark history. The zeal at which traders are selling their wares this morning explain their willingness to sustain the new market.

I want to appeal to the market Queen to monitor and report culprit accordingly. Such people if caught would be expelled from the market. We need foreigners to assist in the expansion of the market.
