LODUMAHO Market has officially opened its doors last week, providing vendors in Ward 15, Western Province, with a more comfortable and secure place to sell their produce.
The new market facility is part of Ward 15’s broader community development plans and is expected to boost small-scale economic activities within the area.
Member of Provincial Assembly for Ward 15, Palin Veo, describes the market house as a milestone achievement for the Lodumaho community.
He said the community had gone without any major development from the Ward Development Committee (WDC), making the completion of the market a significant accomplishment.
“This is a huge achievement for this community and I must commend the Ward Development Committee for their tireless effort.
“Market vendors in this area have been without a proper market facility and this is something that this community wants,” Veo said.
He said the market’s catchment area includes Helena Goldie Hospital and nearby schools, making it a convenient location for vendors to serve workers, students and surrounding communities.
Veo also acknowledged the support and commitment of Ward 15 WDC in ensuring the project was successfully delivered.
Chairman of Ward 15 WDC also acknowledged Veo for his leadership and support towards the project and encourages the community to take ownership of the new facility.
He urges vendors and residents to look after the market house so it can continue to serve future generations.
