The major challenge has been accomplished, though we still have some things to sort out, but, we are over the hurdle,” Ambode who spoke through the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Adebowale Akinsanya, said.

He added that; “What remains is to keep going, speed up and with the commitment of this government, we should be able to complete this project by September and, hopefully, by the end of the year, all the different markets in Mile 12 will be able to move here, and it will be a one-shop-centre for everybody.”
