A few months ago, the traders were sent to this spot when construction work was still on and only sellers of drugs installed themselves in the empty space. Now the building looks beautiful, spacious and airy with enough counters.

The space is occupied by both drug and cloth sellers. The traders complain of the fact that their customers do not yet know the market. The president of the market Augustin Kamdem, a drug seller said some of the traders refused to come for their own space at the new market saying business transactions are very slow.

According to his colleague Alphonse Ekombe, it is only when the rest of the traders come that the customers will follow them and the market place, at that time business shall become as lively as before.

They have been in open air, exposed to rain and at last they have found a place of their own. Kamdem enumerated a few problems that they also face in the new market such as the need exposure in media. The market was built and iscontrolled by the Douala city council is still under construction
