The temporary closure of shops in the Central Business District of Accra by the Ghana Union of Traders Associations (GUTA) due to economic hardship entered its 2nd day today.
Scenes witnessed in and around Okaishie indicate that some of the traders have opened their shops for business although many of the sales outlets still remain closed.
