They will not enter the Agbogbloshie market from today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the government has also presented an amount of GHS 500,000 to various trader unions to help them cart their goods to Adjen Kotoku in the Ga West Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the government, GHS 300,000 will be allocated to the onion sellers, with the remaining amount shared amongst other traders in the business enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGovernment is making available GHS 500,000. I want to reiterate that it is for transportation to Adjen Kotoku. Let me also put on record that from this evening,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government issued a seven-week ultimatum to onion traders in Accra to relocate from Agbogbloshie to Adjen Kotoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new market was established at Adjen Kotoku over a decade ago in a bid to<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/05\/relocate-to-adjen-kotoku-within-seven-weeks-onion-traders-in-accra-ordered\/\"><strong>&nbsp;decongest the central business district<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That market, however, remains abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry Quartey has said his outfit will demolish the Agbogbloshie Onion market on July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agbogbloshie onion sellers beg minister<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the deadline, July 1, 2021, however, draws closer, some onion traders have appealed to the government for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/06\/give-us-more-time-to-relocate-to-adjen-kotoku-agbogbloshie-onion-sellers-beg-minister\/\"><strong>more time to adequately prepare<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;for the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is unfair for the Minister to give us such short notice to relocate. We pleaded with him for more time, but he did not heed to it. Besides, the stalls that have been provided are not good enough for selling onions. We have not said that we\u2019ll not move; we are only begging for more time to put things together,\u201d a trader said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trader said \u201c1st July is a few days away, we won\u2019t be ready by then.
