Some market women at the Adentan Market Center have expressed their appreciation to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate, Akosua Asaa Manu, for some initiatives implemented.
According to the market women, despite taking large sums of money to buy foodstuffs and goods, they end up with very little.
Therefore, the GH₵50,000 interest-free loan provided by Akosua Manu is a significant step towards improving their financial situation.

In conversations with journalists, several market women highlighted the hikes in transport fares as the biggest challenge for their businesses.
The high cost of transporting foodstuffs from the villages to Accra has made goods more expensive. They believe that the interest-free loan will help mitigate these issues.
Madam Afia, a market woman, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the support. She emphasized that market women are the pillars of their families, with many being the primary breadwinners.
She stressed that the interest-free loan will be of immense value to them, greatly improving their financial stability and enabling them to better support their families.
The market women praised Akosua Manu for her commitment to their businesses and for prioritizing their needs.
They are hopeful that her support will bring significant improvements to their financial stability and business operations.
