Fubara Targets January 2027 for Completion of New Modern Market Project in Rivers

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced that the ongoing construction of a modern market project is expected to be completed by January 2027.

He made the disclosure during an on-site inspection of the facility, where he assessed the level of work done and interacted with engineers handling the project.

Fubara said the market is part of his administration’s efforts to improve commercial infrastructure and provide traders with a more organized and conducive environment for business activities across the state.

According to him, the new market will play a key role in supporting local trade and strengthening the state’s economic base when it becomes operational.

He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to delivering infrastructure projects that directly impact the lives of residents and promote sustainable development across Rivers State.
