Big Market Development for Anloga and Aflao as Mahama Confirms Progress on Two Major Projects

President John Mahama has announced that the Anloga 24-hour market project is progressing on schedule, while the proposed Aflao market is also on course. According to the President, land has been secured for the Aflao-Ashigame market and the design has been completed.

The President made these remarks in connection with the 2026 Hogbetsotso Festival, underscoring the government’s commitment to advancing infrastructure and commercial development in the Volta Region. He indicated that the Anloga 24-hour market remains on track, with work proceeding as planned, and that preparations for the Aflao market are moving forward steadily.

On the Aflao-Ashigame market specifically, President Mahama disclosed that the necessary land has already been acquired, removing a key obstacle that often delays such projects. He further revealed that the design for the market has been finalized, signaling that the project is moving into a more concrete phase of development.

The announcements were made within the context of the 2026 Hogbetsotso Festival, the annual celebration of the Anlo people, which highlights the region’s cultural heritage and attracts attention to its developmental needs. The President’s update suggests that the government is aligning commercial infrastructure projects with the festival’s broader agenda of promoting growth and economic activity in the area.

The Anloga 24-hour market is expected to boost trading and provide round-the-clock commercial opportunities for residents and traders, while the Aflao-Ashigame market is anticipated to serve communities along the Ghana-Togo corridor. The completion of the design and the securing of land for the Aflao-Ashigame project represent significant milestones, though timelines for construction were not specified.

President Mahama’s remarks signal continued momentum on these projects as the region prepares for the 2026 Hogbetsotso Festival, with expectations that the markets will enhance trade, create jobs, and strengthen the local economy.
