Aiyinasi (W/R), Sept. 27, GNA – Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the NDC Running Mate, has given a strong indication that the next NDC government will boost the economic empowerment of market women in the country.

She said the NDC government had always respected and recognised the efforts of women and would continue to build modern markets for women to trade.
