Governor Obiano assured that his administration would do everything possible turn the site into a hub of commercial activity, added that the recent provision of power supply in the market would improve business activities, and appreciated the foresight of the initiators and the provision of dual carriageway of about two kilometres within the market, with facilities that can take up to 1000 parked vehicles. Said Governor Obiano “This is clearly an international market; it will be interlocked and provided with infrastructures like light. When completed, this market will go a long way in helping to decongest the ever busy Onitsha main market.”
