OGBEDE IGBO-ETITI
MARKET UPGRADE
Robustly functioning markets are key for the growth of any society.
The Ogbede market which is currently undergoing an upgrade, is one of the foremost markets in Igbo-Etiti council area. It is the hub of commercial activities in the area, with capacity for meaningful expansion hence the government considers it an essential project to execute.
By the time work is done, the market will become more conducive, and more of our people would be productively engaged in many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thereby further stimulating the economy of the local government, with ripple effects on the overall economy of the state. This growth in the economy will boost the council's internally generated revenue (IGR), which translates to increased funds available to the government to work with, for the benefits of the people.
The market upgrade plans include:
- Construction of an extensive perimeter drainage system around the market to forestall the perennial water flooding issues.
- Establishment of a befitting perimeter fence, entrance and exit gates.
- Upgrade of the market motor park.
- Establishment of a new borehole and toilet/sanitation facilities.
- Completion of existing uncompleted structures in the market and maintaining all access ways within the market.
