As the six-lane, multi-billion naira Ikorodu-Mile 12
road nears completion, with the construction company putting finishing touches
and complimentary facilities in place in readiness for official commissioning;
indication are rife that the Ikorodu round about / garage market would soon be relocated to a new site.
The new site of the market is at Oluwo Odikon market, close to Agric bus-stop, opposite St Augustine Catholic Church. Work on the new market site is nearing completion and
almost ready for occupation by market men and women.
T&C Magazine's Ikorodu Marketplace correspondent visited the
new market site to access the level of work in progress. The level of
work on site can be said to be commendable as all the 470 market stalls were
already completed. Our correspondent also observed that workers on site were
working on the plumbing of the market toilets for water supply. Bricklayers
were also seen doing some patching works.
In a chat with Alhaja Feyintolaoluwa, the Iyaloja of
Oluwo Odikan market, who threw more light on the market under construction, she
reiterated the fact that the nearly completed market consists of 470 spaces, and
will be commissioned in no distant future.
The market leader however pleaded with Lagos state
government to donate a transformer to the new market as electricity could be a
big challenge to the market when commissioned. She therefore urged the Lagos state government to
come to their aid on this germane issue, as it will make their good work
complete.
She concluded by encouraging interested market men
and women to come and book for spaces in the new market as spaces were
still available.
