He said: “I am here to sympathise with you over the unfortunate fire incident that ravaged portions of this market. This is a sad development which has affected the sources of income of many of you.

“This administration will always ensure that it caters for the welfare of all residents of the state. I have approved the sum of N200 million as an intervention fund to assist victims of this unfortunate incident”.

The governor directed the State Commissioner for Special Duties 2, Mr Emeka Onowu, to liaise with the leadership of the market to ensure the proper use of the intervention fund for the revival of the market.
