All these are meant to boost its commercial visibility and viability,\u201d the president said during the market inauguration in Brikama on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32073 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/gambia\/sites\/19\/2023\/03\/postMediaimg_19_1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/gambia\/sites\/19\/2023\/03\/postMediaimg_19_1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/gambia\/sites\/19\/2023\/03\/postMediaimg_19_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/gambia\/sites\/19\/2023\/03\/postMediaimg_19_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/gambia\/sites\/19\/2023\/03\/postMediaimg_19_1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Brikama is the seat of the largest and biggest administrative region in the Gambia, with over seven hundred and thirty thousand (730,000) residents in the area. The president said the new market is designed to serve a population size of over eighty-three thousand (83,000).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause it is a huge project, it is designed in phases. Phase One consists of eighty-eight (88) stores and the other facilities and health and safety measures described in the project profile. With this edifice, my government has laid the foundation for an ultra-modern international market that will make every Gambian proud. It will certainly be an added beautiful architectural landscape design in the heart of Brikama,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Gambian leader also revealed that his Government was able to fully fund the first phase of the Market Project at an estimated cost of thirty-eight and a half million Dalasi (GMD38.5 million);<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"bin\/Users\/Muzaffari\/postMediaimg_19_2.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could be recalled that a few months ago, twenty (20) canteens of this market were burnt down in an unexpected fire outbreak. It was heartbreaking for the canteen owners to see their goods and assets perish. The loss was devastating, especially for those who had just established new businesses. Upon receiving the news, my government promised to rebuild the whole market. It is most gratifying that, despite all the global economic crises, the Government was able to fully fund the first phase of the Market Project at an estimated cost of thirty-eight and a half million Dalasi (GMD38.5 million),\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
