She listed the five new roads as: Ondo Street (Ebute-Metta West), Glover Street (Ebute-Metta East), Osholake Street (Ebute-Metta East), Park Road (Ebute-Metta West) and Jebba Street (Ebute-Metta West).
Of the new ultra-modern market, she said, “This market has long been a cornerstone of food commerce in Lagos Mainland. …As with many legacy structures, the facility began to show signs of age and required a full-scale upgrade to meet modern standards of safety, hygiene, and efficiency.”
The new market is a 10-block storey building housing four hundred and twenty (420) lock-up shops, one hundred and eighty-one (181) open stalls, a seventy-car parking space, solar-powered lighting, clean toilets, secure waste systems and round-the-clock security.
Essien expressed the council’s appreciation to the state government on its numerous projects delivered in the council, including the Oyingbo Link Bridge, the Oyingbo Train Station, the Oke-Odo Junior High school and the nearly completed Senior Secondary School in Otumara.
