The Running Mate of the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) flagbearer, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has sympathized with traders who lost their stalls and wares in the Odawna Market fire, at Accra.
She was at the market to comfort the traders and residents of the area and to ascertain the extent of damage the fire had caused.
Hundreds of stalls at the Odawna Market at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle have been burnt to the ground following a fire outbreak Wednesday dawn.
The cause of the fire remains unknown.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang while consoling the affected traders at the market, was thankful that there were no lives lost in the incident.

She called on compatriots to “assist with the restoration and rehabilitation process,” of the market.
