The state Governor has just commisioned the first GSM market in northern nigeria, located at Farm Centre, Kano. It was built under a public-private partnership arrangement and consisted of 72 standard shops, 60 modern sheds, 2 master sheds, 2 restaurants, a mosque and a parking lot. The MD of KNUPDA stated that some individuals with plots flanking the market had indicated interest to partner with the govt to expand it in the future.
Though not a gigantic project (it was built with a 'modest' sum of N59million), I welcome it happily. At least ti would help to decongest Post Office road, which was turned into a jungle of a sort by the GSM operators. That is aside providing the people with condusive business atmosphere. I believe more of such are needed.
