Ogun to build, replicate largest european farmers’ markets- Abiodun

The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, said his administration is set to build a massive Farmers’ Market in many locations across the State.

Governor Abiodun also added that his administration would replicate the largest farmers’ market located in France in the state.

The Governor stated this during an on-the-spot assessment of work done on the Farmers’ Market located in Asero, Abeokuta.

Prince Abiodun said that the plan of his administration is to spread the farmers’ markets in several locations across the state, adding that the idea is to bring the farmers straight to the locations.

“What we are doing here is one of the several we are going to build. This one here in Asero is going to be one of the smallest in the state.

“The plan is to build the type of farmers’ market in several locations across the state and link our farmers straight to the market locations across the state.

“Our intention is to actually build a massive one. I was in France a few weeks ago, and I saw the largest farmers’ market in Europe, one of the largest in the world, and our intention is to replicate that in the state.

“These ones are just spokes to that; that major farmers’ market that we will be building will be somewhere around the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, in a yet-to-be-determined location,” he said.
