Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has launched a market tour campaign in Accra, targeting traders and commercial drivers. Her first stop was the bustling Mallam Atta Market in the Ayawaso Central Constituency, where she engaged with various stakeholders, including head porters (Kayayei).
During her interactions, Professor Opoku-Agyemang highlighted the NDC’s women-centred policies, which prioritize the empowerment of female entrepreneurs and business owners. One of the flagship policies she discussed was the proposed establishment of a Women’s Development Bank, designed to cater to the financial needs of women in business.
The Women’s Bank aims to recognize the significant contribution of women to the economy and provide them with access to financial resources and support. The NDC’s proposal seeks to address the long-standing challenges faced by women in accessing credit and financial services, hindering their ability to grow their businesses.

She engaged with traders, listening to their concerns and sharing the NDC’s vision for a more inclusive and equitable economy.
The market tour is part of Professor Opoku-Agyemang’s campaign efforts to connect with grassroots supporters and showcase the NDC’s commitment to women’s empowerment and economic development. Through her interactions, Professor Opoku-Agyemang demonstrated her dedication to amplifying the voices of women in business and promoting policies that foster their growth and success.
