The running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, will embark on a day’s tour of three main markets in Accra in the Greater Accra Region on Thursday.

She will visit Mallam Atta, Kaneshie, and Makola markets to interact with market women, traders, shop attendants, shoppers, kayayei, commercial drivers, and passengers, among others.

During the tour, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang will explain the NDC’s women’s financial
empowerment policies and plans, including the proposed establishment of a Women’s Development Bank.

About one million women in business, including food vendors, market women, bakers, hairdressers, and dressmakers, are expected to benefit from access to loans with flexible payment terms.

Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang had a successful three-day tour in the Central Region, where she preached about the policies her party will implement when given the nod in the December 7 elections.
