The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content and the lawmaker representing Oyo Central, Senator Teslim Folarin, has donated multi-million Naira roofing sheets for the reconstruction of Agodi Gate (Araromi) Auto Parts Market.
The senator on April 6 visited the market, which was gutted by fire, not only to sympathise with the victims, but also to pledge personal and Federal Government’s support towards rebuilding it.
A few days after his visit, officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) visited the market, following a request letter of support written by the three-term senator, dated April 5.
Bundles of roofing sheets were handed over to the leadership of the market by Folarin’s delegation led by the former Commissioner for Environment, Lowo Obisesan.
The market leader, Alhaji Raheem Ewebiyi and the President of the market, Aare Moruf Ishola, thanked Senator Folarin for his contributions to the reconstruction of the market.
The lawmaker advised traders to observe fire safety precautions at markets, to prevent future fire outbreaks.
