The refurbished market, located on the university campus, was officially commissioned by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, sparking joy and excitement among attendees.
The revamped facility now boasts 80 cubicles, including 36 food stalls, 20 fruit and vegetable stalls, and 24 additional shops. These upgrades aim to not only improve the overall appearance of the market but also to enhance the shopping experience for visitors.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo expressed her delight at the transformation of the market, emphasizing the university’s commitment to providing a conducive environment for both academic and social activities. She commended the efforts of all stakeholders involved in the project and encouraged everyone to take pride in the new and improved night market.
