Former Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has extended support to traders in Kumasi’s Adum area, who were affected by fire on March 21, 2025.
The blaze, which ravaged dozens of shops, left traders reeling from the loss of goods worth millions of Ghana cedis.
During his visit, Dr. Bawumia called for patience as the Ghana National Fire Service continues its investigation into the cause of the fire, with the aim of preventing such incidents in the future.
“We need to wait on the investigation by the Ghana National Fire Service to determine the cause of the fire and ensure steps are taken to prevent it from happening again”.
Dr. Bawumia called on the government to fast-track the completion of the Kejetia Central Market Phase II project, which, according to him, was approximately 80% complete when the NPP left office.
He believes its completion would provide a conducive environment for the traders to rebuild their businesses.
