BMM’s managing director and developer of project, Mr. Bulus Musa Moro’a, told journalists that the project would be completed in six months.
Moro’a said the public would gain from the market “because, directly or indirectly, the market is going to provide jobs for 3, 000 people; the government also will generate to stimulate economic activities.”
The director added that the market would have 460 shops, 22blocks with categories A, B, C, D and other things.
He disclosed that the facilities in the market would include fire service/police post, parking lots, banking halls, external lightning, potable water, good road, network, drainage, refuse management, public convenience, market management office and 128-number cars parking in the area.
