Senator Neda Imasuen, representing Edo South, has initiated the construction of an ultra-modern market in Amagba Community, Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. The project, a federal constituency intervention, aims to provide residents with basic goods and stimulate commerce. Imasuen performed the ground-breaking ceremony, marking the commencement of construction of 30 lock-up shops and 40 open stores. Community leaders, including representatives of the landlords association and the Odionwere of the community, attended the ceremony.
The market was conceived in response to the difficulties residents face traveling long distances for basic commodities. Imasuen noted that the rapid growth of Amagba in population and economic activities made the provision of a functional market imperative. He emphasized that residents should not have to travel far outside the community to purchase everyday necessities. The new market is expected to create opportunities for traders while strengthening the local economy.
Imasuen explained that the community's growth and busy nature necessitated the market's construction. He envisioned the market having a multiplier effect on the community as more people move in and commercial activities expand. The project details include 30 lock-up stores and 40 open stores. Imasuen also announced plans to facilitate the construction of a police station in Amagba, serving neighboring communities that currently lack adequate access to police services.
The Project Manager, Hassan Shugaba, assured residents that the market project would be completed within a few months. This assurance aims to alleviate concerns about the project's timeline and provide a sense of security for the community. The market's completion is expected to bring relief to residents who currently have to travel long distances for basic goods.
Chairman of the Amagba Landlords Association, Dr. Vincent Abah, acknowledged that the community lacks several essential amenities. However, he welcomed Imasuen's intervention as a crucial first step. Abah described the senator's project as a federal government constituency project, emphasizing its significance. The community's leaders and residents have expressed gratitude for Imasuen's efforts.
The Odionwere of the community, Pa Joseph Iduoriyekemwen, commended Imasuen for his intervention and prayed for more opportunities for the senator to deliver additional development projects to the community. This sentiment reflects the community's hopes for continued development and growth. Imasuen's efforts have been recognized as a positive step towards addressing the community's needs.
