…come 2027, Kogi will repay Ododo with abundant votes, says Fanwo
The Kogi State Government has disclosed that the Lokoja Ultra Modern Market, currently under construction, is poised to transform commerce across Nigeria by leveraging the state’s strategic location at the nation’s crossroads and providing one of the country’s largest and most modern trading hubs.
The Government said the market, which sits on 25 hectares of land, will accommodate traders from seven existing markets across Lokoja and provide a well -planned commercial environment that will enhance trade, improve safety, ease traffic congestion and stimulate economic growth.
Kingsley Femi Fanwo, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, stated this on Monday while inspecting the pace of work at the project site in Lokoja, just as he described the project as one of the flagship initiatives of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo’s administration, saying it is a critical component of the Government’s Urban Renewal Agenda aimed at transforming Lokoja into a cleaner, smarter and more organised capital city.
Fanwo equally pointed out that the administration is implementing a comprehensive strategy to modernise the state capital through environmental reforms, improved infrastructure and strategic investments that will support commerce and enhance the quality of life of residents.
