Story: Zakaria Alhassan, Tamale
President J.A. Kufuor has inaugurated a food bazaar for visitors who are in Tamale to witness the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament there.
Ghana Telecom, operators of Onetouch cellular phone, provided 50 branded canopies for the food vendors.
The company also donated 5,000 tournament brochures on tourists’ sites in the Northern Region.
The total cost of the two items is about GH¢30,000.
The market is located near the Nyohini Roundabout and the new stadium, where the matches are being played.
The President, who received the canopies from the Northern Regional Manager of the Ghana Telecom, Mr Stephen Aduama-Danso, urged residents of the metropolis to continue to extend the proverbial Ghanaian hospitality to their guests.
He also advised the traders to prepare good quality food for sale in order to maximise sales.
Mr Aduama-Danso said their gesture was part of Ghana Telecom’s social responsibility to the community. It was also to support the Tamale Metro Assembly (TAMA) to successfully host the tournament.
The Northern Regional Sales Representative of the company in Tamale, Mr Iddrisu Abdul-Majeed, urged beneficiaries of the canopies to take good care of them and also maintain them regularly.
The Mayor of Tamale, Mr Mohammed Amin Adam Anta, thanked Ghana Telecom for its support and called on both residents and visitors in the metropolis to patronise the market which was strategically located.
