LG Boss Commissions 126-Shop Ultra Modern Market

The Chairman of Eleme Local Government Council, Barrister Philip Okparaji, has stated that the completion and commissioning of the 126-shop ultra modern market with borehole water supply and a slaughter market channelled to the sea for hygienic purposes, was in fulfilment of his electioneering campaign promises to the people of Akpajo Clan.
Okparaji, who said this while inaugurating the market in Akpajo, Eleme Local Government Area, yesterday, used the opportunity to commend the former LG chairman for initiating the pro-people project.
According to him, “I want to pay a special tribute to the former Eleme Local Government Council Chairman, Hon Ejor Ngofa Ejor, who started the 64 lock-up shops, which my administration was able to complete in addition to the 62 lock-up shops we were able construct.
“In addition, we were able to provide the market with a borehole water supply, as such a modern market cannot operate without water and a slaughter channelled to the sea. We did that because we take personal hygiene very seriously in order to ensure total wellness of our people,” Okparaji added.
He noted that his administration was poised to do more tangible projects for the people of Eleme, saying: “the resources of Eleme are meant for the development of Eleme, we are not here for primitive accumulation of wealth, but we are there to serve our people, and we’ll serve our people happily and make them happy”.
