Agbogbloshie onion market redevelopment in limbo after years of demolition

The redevelopment of Accra's old Agbogbloshie onion market, demolished as part of efforts to transform the e-waste site, remains stalled.

Despite the demolition in 2021 and the relocation of traders, challenges persist, including lack of pre-information, inadequate compensation, and delays in the promised modern health facility.

The 80-acre reclaimed land is deteriorating, now hosting open defecation and unauthorized dumping, contrary to the initial vision.

Efforts to reach the Ablekuma Central Municipal Assembly for updates were unsuccessful, leaving the project's future uncertain.
