To enhance aesthetics and ease of movement, the surroundings of the market will be fully paved upon completion.
A perimeter fence is also being constructed to provide security and protect the facility from unauthorized access.
Residents and stakeholders have welcomed the project, describing it as a significant step toward improving commercial infrastructure within Orimedu and surrounding communities.
Many traders expressed optimism that the modern market facility would boost business activities and attract more customers to the area.
