The Kebbi State, Comrade Nasir Idris, has commissioned the newly constructed Ultra Modern Vegetables Market in Birnin Kebbi, to fulfil a long standing promise to traders and residents in the area.
Speaking on the occasion, Governor Idris recalled that, the condition of the market prior to its reconstruction, was an open and unsuitable space for commercial activities.
He stated that the decision to rebuild the market followed appeals from traders, who requested government intervention to provide a conducive environment for their businesses.
Governor Idris said that the new market was constructed to improve the livelihoods of traders, particularly those dealing with vegetables and other food items, by providing secure and well organized stalls where they can safely store their goods and conduct business without disruption.
He emphasized that the project reflects his administration’s commitment to supporting economic activities at the grassroots level and ensuring that citizens benefit directly from government initiatives.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Kayan Gwari Market, Umarun Basiru, expressed appreciation to the Governor for fulfilling his promise, and described the development as a significant boost towards their economic standard trading, noting that the new market will greatly enhance revenue generation to the state.
