We are pleased to announce that the newly constructed Kwoi Market in Jaba LGA has officially been handed over and modalities for relocation of traders are in progress.

The Kwoi Market is the first of our prototype markets for rural communities and will be replicated in other local governments in line with His Excellency, Gov. Uba Sani’s SUSTAIN agenda to develop rural areas.

The prototype markets will take into consideration the low level of trade and economy in these areas and the shops therein will be significantly cheaper than those in urban areas.

We are also set to introduce a new prototype for cattle markets and perishable foods in the coming months. @tnandul @YemieBakare @ubasanius @GovKaduna
