 Kogi Government Acquires 15 Hectares for New Ultra-Modern Market


The Kogi State Government has secured 15 hectares of land for the development of an ultra-modern market, set to replace the old Lokoja International Market. Located along Hassan Katsina Road, Zone 8 in Lokoja, the land was officially handed over to the contractor, SABC, on Monday by the state’s Commissioners for Works and Commerce, along with the Permanent Secretary of the Bureau of Land and Urban Development, Bayegusi Taiwo, who represented the Director General.


During the ceremony, the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards, warning the contractor against subpar work. He highlighted the significance of the project to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and assured that all legal issues related to the land had been resolved, with fair compensation given to everyone with an interest in the property.


Abdulrazaq Adio, the consultant from SABC, assured that the project would be completed on time and according to the specified standards. He thanked the government for their due diligence and pledged that the company would deliver as promised.


The new market is being relocated from the old Lokoja International Market, situated along the busy Lokoja/Abuja road, which has been prone to frequent accidents. This move is expected to improve safety and accessibility.
