Consultants assess stalled Mamponteng Jubilee Market project

Consultants from the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs (MLGCRA) have carried out a comprehensive site review and assessment of the Mamponteng Jubilee Market on Thursday, December?11, 2025.

The exercise, held at the market premises, aimed to verify that the existing site plan accurately reflects the current ground conditions and to identify any areas requiring immediate modification or redesign.

The Jubilee Market project, which stalled at 55% completion for more than 12 years, began in 2004. The prolonged abandonment has negatively impacted traders and the local economy.

The market serves as a central trading hub for the district’s 46 major towns and communities.

The assessment follows the visit by Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang last October, during which she promised to ensure the project’s completion.

The Vice President emphasised that the government prioritizes projects that support women’s development, recognising the importance of trading in their lives.

Mr. Joseph Amankwah, Municipal Chief Executive for Kwabre East Municipal Assembly, said the field assessment was essential to ensure that the development plan aligns with realities on the ground.

According to him, the review is crucial for confirming that their site plan mirrors the actual situation and for pinpointing sections that may need prompt adjustments.

Mr. Amankwah expressed the Assembly’s gratitude for the commitment shown by President John?Dramani?Mahama and Vice President Naana? Jane Opoku?Agyemang towards the successful completion of the Mamponteng Jubilee Market.

He noted that their continued support has been instrumental in moving the project forward.

He disclosed that the MLGCRA team, comprising engineers, planners and other technical experts, conducted a walk?through of the market, evaluating infrastructure, drainage, stall layout and other critical components, noting that their findings will inform any necessary redesign work before the market becomes fully operational.
