“With over 170 shops, a 300KVA transformer, a fully equipped security post, a functional cafeteria, clean restrooms, and ample parking space, the market is designed to serve as a central hub for sourcing quality local building materials. I have also made it clear that only genuine materials must be sold here to protect our people and promote standards.
