Proposed N47b international market will transform Anambra economic profile - Obiano

The Anambra State Government says it has concluded plans with Anambra JC Michaels Nigerial Limited under a Public Private Partnership arrangement to build State of the Act Ultra Modern International Market.

The Ultra Modern International Market with 10,000 shops capacity estimated to cost about N47B (Forty Seven Billion Naira) and occupying a land space of about 20.8 hectres at Isiagu, Awka-South Local Government Area.

Speaking during the inspection of the project site to monitor the extent of work, the state Governor, Chief (Dr.) Willie Obiano described it as a market of tomorrow capable of further improve the commercial profile and strengthen the economy of the State.

He said the market on completion would be first of its kind in Sub-Sahara Africa with prospensity to have modern facilities like internet connectivity, access roads, hospitals, schools, banks, flyovers and basement.

Obiano, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Primus Odili stated that locating the market away from Awka was strategic to decongest the Awka Town and ease traffic.

He assured that the State Government would play her role by putting access roads to the project site, adding that with the presence of a financier, the market would be completed at due time.

Earlier in his welcome speech, the Chairman, Anambra JC Michael Nigeria Limited, Chief Jude Amuzie explained that the Ultra Modern Market, was designed to provide unique features in making market transactions easier and faster under conducive atmosphere.

He disclosed that the market structure would be completed in phases, explaining that 17 buildings with 120 lock-up shops on each building (total of 2040 shops) would be ready for use by April, 2021.

Amuzie praised the Governor of the State, Chief Obiano for reposing confidence on Anambra JC Michaels and assured that State Government dream for better economic prospect for the State through modern market would be actualized.

He appealed to the State Government to assist the project by providing access roads, pointing out that this would ease movement of machines and equipments to the site.

Mr. Anayo Nwosu, who spoke on behalf of the management of Keystone Bank Plc (The Financier) descried the Ultra Modern Market as the gateway to other projects that would promote the economic prospects of Anambra State and assured that the Bank is committed to the project.

Mr. Nwosu therefore called for patronage from all citizens, investors and business communities from the zone.

The Traditional Ruler of Isiagu, HRH Igwe Augustine Nwankwo expressed joy that the project had started and assured of his community support for the progress of the project.

Igwe Nwankwo commended the Governor for sighting the project in the town and stated that Isiagu would continue to support the State Government and APGA for recognizing the community.

Also in attendance were the Hon. Commissioner for Commerce, Uche Okafor, his counterpart in Housing, Arch Michael Okonkwo and Rev. Okwosa of the Anambra Capital Development Authority (ACDA) among others.

This is an excellent news!!!

Since Onitsha main market was built in the 1950s no new market of that size had ever been built again in Anambra. So, this is a very welcome development if they make it to be truly modern in design and construction....not just adding the word "ultra modern" to it.

My plea is that they apply good modern design so that the final product will be both aesthetically appealing, conducive for business as well as tourism. The design in the picture below is so far the best open market design i have seen recently in Nigeria and it should be emulated and improved upon.

No, just a picture of markets in Nigeria that i saw online. My point is that we should try and improve our standard a little in Nigeria.
Instead of building the same substandard things over and over. I posted that picture because for the first time, i saw a Nigerian market making space for parking lot and setting space aside for banks, restaurants and other entertainment to come and develop that section. Although the scale was small, but we have to stop building markets like a bunch of lockup shops lined up without any space for facilities, relaxation or even parking.

This nuttcase is here again with his miserable drool. Peter Obi build that teaching hospital to a good standard. Stop being a ddickhead, nwokem.

And , please, Ndi Anambra , freeglobe is not here to contribute to the progress of Anambra rather to attack Obi and paint him black. Watch out for him.

This very man was condemning Obiano when Obi brought him from USA to run for elections. Freeglobe was here campaigning for Chris Ngige but for some reason he jumped ships after Ngige lost. He started supporting Obiano after the Willie had a face off with Obi.

And , here , I dare say that any Anambra who is going about demonizing the name of Okwute Peter Obi afufu na ife mgbu ga abu oke nkea!


Freeglobe , you end will be miserable, I swear !

Biko post the Onitsha stockfish market here OR hush when important issues are being discussed. You probably haven't even been to Onitsha in the last 40 years, but you will like to post rubbish just for the sake of saying something.

I know you have never been to the new building materials market Ogidi, nor have you been to the new shoe market at Nkwelle Ezunaka. Even the new "Abada" market at the foot of the Niger bridge. Among all these "new markets", none is more beautiful or better planned than the electronics market built in the 1990s! Your type will be thinking of one slum market in LAGOS as the standard. Since all the slums in Lagos are your standard for development without knowing Lagos itself is a slum. You should copy other open markets in other decent developing countries NOT LAGOS!

The point being, we want this new market to truly stand out as an ultra modern space comparable to such anywhere in the world! Not just building another market for the sake of it without car parks, areas for restaurants, banks, entertainment and other facilities. This is an opportunity to build the BIGGEST tourist attraction in Anambra state if it is done right and to world standard NOT LAGOS standard as our people are fixated on Lagos style markets.

Obi built at least 8 buildings at Amaku transforming it to a modern "Nigerian standard" hospital. However, the construction was substandard and the roofs of many of those buildings are partially collapsing or leaking. The place also lacks a central water reticulation system which is critical for a hospital and central power plant. Instead you have boreholes, tanks and small generators all over the place.

Under Obiano there is the addition of the oxygen plant and two other buildings still under construction. But the average hotel in Awka is better planned with better facilities than the nonsense I saw at Amaku where they can't even keep the floors clean or cut the grass properly.

mktinsight:

Nigerian markets are built with the idea of maximum profit and not planning or aesthetics. The average mall in Nigeria does not have 170 shops in 10,000sqm of space but our local developers will squeeze 170 shops into 2000sqm. The largest mall in America built over 452,000 sqm has just 520 stores. overnment needs to stop approving nonsense market designs. 10,000 shops in a single location is a recipe for chaos. 10,000 shops but will you install adequate toilet facilities? Water? Security? Adequate parking? What about enough space for trailers to offload? Poverty is of the mind. There is more to life than sitting in a 10x10 shop selling the same thing as 1,000 other people. There is agriculture, craft, publishing, tech, education, health manufacturing. Everyone should not be a retailer.

Anambr1stS0n:

Your ignorant on this Obiano started and completed Nursing hostel in Amaku, he has completed mother and child centre fully equipped waiting for commission, he also built oxygen production plant, and another building near female wards, structures built by Obiano are far standard when compare with the ones built by Obi, under Obiano COOUTH starting functioning 24hrs, the main gate was open for public, most of you hardly remember, my house is very close to the hospital, I know how Amaku was before Obiano took over.
