Construct An Ultra-modern Ado Ekiti Market In The State- Oja Oba

—

Our Assessment

This promise is rated Completed. The ultra-modern Oja Oba Market was commissioned on October 15, 2020, with over 950 shops, banking halls, a clinic, and a police post.

Why It Matters

The old Oja Oba market was congested, unhygienic, and a fire hazard. An ultra-modern market with lock-up shops, banking halls, warehouses, a clinic, and a police post transforms trading conditions. It boosts commerce, increases internally generated revenue, creates jobs, provides a safe environment for traders, and beautifies the state capital.

Fayemi commissions Ado-Ekiti central market

On October 15, 2020, Fayemi commissioned the ultra-modern Oja Oba Market (Erekesan Market) in Ado-Ekiti as part of activities marking his second year in office. The market project was first conceptualised in 2012 during Fayemi's first tenure. Construction was started by the previous administration (Governor Ayodele Fayose) and was at about 70% completion level when Fayemi returned to office. Fayemi completed the remaining work, retaining the same contractor engaged by his predecessor.

The ultra-modern market boasts:

234 open shops
738 lock-up shops
Two restaurants
Two banking halls
Two warehouses
A police post
A clinic
An expansive parking lot

Governor Fayemi urged traders displaying wares on the roadside to move into the new market to decongest roads and ensure their safety.
