Ho — A total of 142 stores are to be constructed at the Ho market in two separate projects which will commence simultaneously in three weeks, under the Ghana Secondary City Support Programme.

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Ho, Mr Prosper Pi-Bansa, disclosed these to the Ghanaian Times in Ho on Tuesday.

Mr Pi-Bansa said that the first lot of the project involved the building of 58 stores, whilst 84 lockable stores would be constructed under the second lot.

On the project cost, the MCE explained that although the projects would be funded by the assembly through a World Bank facility, the exact cost of the projects could only be determined after they had been awarded on contract.

Already, the Ho Market has 191 stores and lockable stores.
