Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has commissioned the new ultra-modern multi-million naira Ado-Ekiti Central Market, known as the Oja Oba market in Ado-Ekiti.

 Governor Fayemi, who inaugurated the market yesterday, as part of his second anniversary, said his government conceptualized the project as part of the urban regeneration programme for the state capital in his first term.

He, however, commended the former Governor Ayo Fayose, who took the project to 55% completion when he was governor.

 Fayemi pointed out that the market would promote commercial activities on a large scale in Ekiti State and boost economic growth and development in Ekiti.

According to him, the Ultra-modern market is carefully built and properly landscaped to be the pride of Ekiti sons and daughters both at home and abroad.

Fayemi said the facilities in the ultra-modern market include 234 Open Shops, 738 Lockup shops, 2 restaurants, 2 banking halls, 2 Warehouses, a Police Post, a fire station, and a clinic.
