The formal site handover was conducted in the presence of the Chief of Osino, Osaberima Otu Darko IV, and the Queen Mother, during which the contractor was shown the exact location earmarked for the construction of the market. The active participation and enthusiastic support of the traditional leadership at the ceremony was a testament to the strong and inspiring unity between Osino's chieftaincy institution and the district government in championing development for the people.

Reaffirming her dedication to the project, Hon. Mercy Korang expressed full commitment to ensuring that the market is executed efficiently and delivered to the highest possible standard, in keeping with the government's vision of driving inclusive growth and development at the local level.

With groundbreaking imminent, residents and traders of Osino have every reason to look forward to a new era of economic opportunity and community development.
