The Canopy at SereKunda Market has been rehabilitated to help both market women and their customers have a hygienic and spacious place for selling and buying.
The Canopy sponsored by Mohamadou Musa Njie alias Papa Njie, who is vying for the upcoming Mayoral seat for Kanifing Muncipal Council, was inaugurated on Saturday.
The project was built when Papa and his team took part in the cleaning of the Serrekunda Market; an initiative of the Women Empowerment’ Project.
Speaking at the inauguration, Njie said him and the team were invited to the market for cleaning by the women empowerment project and it was there that he encountered the deplorable state of the old and leaking canopy.
Njie explains that the conditions these hardworking women and men face on a daily basis whilst trying to provide for their families compelled him to take a swift, deliberate and decisive action.
“I’m a true believer in hard work, these business people are vital part of The Gambian economy and our everyday life.”
Njie: In new KM under my leadership, we will implement sustainable solutions, which will transform the way we handle waste which will create jobs for youths, women and the disabled.
The market renovation he said is a tiny part of his vision for a new Kanifing Municipality.
