The Ablekuma Central Municipal Assembly is set to team up with the Ghana Police Service for a fresh decongestion operation at the Agbogbloshie onion market. This comes after scrap dealers, who were previously evicted in 2021, returned to the site, sparking concerns over environmental hazards and public health risks.
The area was slated for a district hospital under the Agenda 111 initiative.
The Ablekuma Central Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Frank Nkansah, expressed concern over the development, assuring residents that action would be taken. “Together with the regional minister, we have decided to decongest the Agbogbloshie onion site again. She has given us a representative, and the IGP has also provided a team to work with. Two weeks from now, we will also clean the South Industrial Area, together with the Ghana Prisons Service,” he stated.
