President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has amidst an overjoyed population made up of the Chiefs and people of Akim Oda, commissioned a newly built ultra-modern market Akim Oda, in the Birim Central Municipality of the Eastern region.
In September 2021, a raging inferno razed down the old, dilapidated market destroying hundreds of sheds and wares and displacing many hardworking traders.
Constructed under the auspices of the District Assemblies Common Fund, the project is part of the $100 Million Ghana Secondary Cities Support Program (GSCSP).
It is one of the World Bank supported projects being specifically undertaken under the Urban Development Grant (UDG), across 25 municipalities in Ghana.
