Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, on Tuesday, inaugurated the reconstructed Modibo Adama modern market in Yola, the state capital, one year after a fire incident.
The market was gutted by fire last year in a midnight inferno that injured over 180 people, with over five dead bodies recovered.
It was the seventh time in less than 10 years that the Yola-Town market would be gutted by fire.
The reconstructed market contract was awarded last year at the cost of N2.98bn by the state government to a local construction company.
