Ibeju-Lekki Local Government has reaffirmed its commitment to improving commercial infrastructure as construction work continues on the Orimedu Market Project, one of the council’s key economic development initiatives.
Epe Insights reports that the Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Hon. Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, recently visited the project site to evaluate ongoing work and monitor construction progress.
The Orimedu Market Project is designed to provide a modern and organized trading environment that will support businesses and stimulate local economic activities.
Located within the Orimedu community, the project is expected to become an important commercial hub serving traders, residents, and visitors across the area.
The market development forms part of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government’s broader strategy to strengthen grassroots commerce through sustainable infrastructure investments.
Upon completion, the facility will accommodate 100 open stalls, providing trading spaces for market men and women operating within the community.
The project will also include 20 lock-up shops aimed at enhancing business security and promoting structured commercial activities.
To ensure efficient administration, dedicated market offices are being incorporated into the design of the facility.
A security post is equally being constructed to support safety measures and maintain order within the market environment.
The project also features convenience facilities that will improve comfort and accessibility for traders and customers.
In addition, paved surroundings are being provided to enhance movement within the market and improve its overall appearance.
A perimeter fence is included in the development plan to strengthen security and safeguard public assets.
Residents have welcomed the project, describing it as a significant investment that will improve trading conditions and create new opportunities for local businesses.
Community stakeholders noted that the market will contribute to economic growth by attracting more commercial activities into the area.
The ongoing construction highlights Ibeju-Lekki Local Government’s focus on projects that directly impact livelihoods and community development.
Observers believe the project will further strengthen Orimedu’s position as an emerging commercial destination within the rapidly developing Ibeju-Lekki corridor.
As work progresses, expectations remain high that the completed market will provide lasting benefits for traders, consumers, and the wider local economy.
