NDDC inaugurates ultra-modern market in Rivers community
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has inaugurated an Ultra-Modern International Market in Ibaa Community, in Rivers, as one of its projects to impact lives across the region.
Chief Tony Okocha, the Rivers Representative on the NDDC Board, at the event on Friday, said that the project would improve local commerce and uplift economic activities in Ibaa and its environs.
Okocha commended the contractor for executing a quality job and appreciated the people of Ibaa community for their cooperation towards the timely completion of the project.
The Rivers NDDC representative said he was inspired to build the market after his visit to Ibaa community in 2024, where he witnessed women trading in makeshift stalls.
The Delta State NDDC representative, Mr Monday Igbuya, said the market was one of its kind.
Igbuya urged the community to maintain and utilise the facility effectively.
The Traditional Ruler of Ibaa, Dr Wobodo Jonah, the youths and the entire community presented traditional food items to Okocha as a mark of honour and appreciation.
