A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE ONIRUN-IN-COUNCIL TO ALL IRUN ELITES AT HOME AND ABROAD
RE: ESTABLISHMENT AND OPENING OF AKOREWOLU MARKET (OJA AKOREWOLU), IRUN AKOKO
Dear Sons and Daughters of Irun,
Distinguished Irun Elites at Home and Abroad,
Indigenes, Residents, Friends and Lovers of Irun,
The Onirun-in-Council, with great pleasure and a deep sense of responsibility towards the continued development, prosperity and advancement of our dear community, wishes to bring to the attention of all sons and daughters of Irun, both at home and in the diaspora, the establishment of a new and strategically located agricultural market known as:
AKOREWOLU MARKET (OJA AKOREWOLU), IRUN AKOKO
This initiative represents another important step towards strengthening the economic foundation of our community, promoting agriculture, supporting our farmers and creating a sustainable platform for commercial activities in Irun Akoko.
A MARKET CREATED FOR AGRICULTURAL COMMERCE
Akorewolu Market has been specifically established as a daily market for fresh and perishable agricultural produce, with particular emphasis on wholesale and bulk purchases.
The market is intended to serve as a meeting point between farmers, producers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, food businesses, bulk buyers and consumers.
Among the products expected to be traded at the market are:
πΆοΈ Fresh Pepper
π
Fresh Tomatoes
π Yam
πΏ Cassava and Cassava Products
π₯¬ Vegetables
πΎ Grains and Other Farm Produce
π§Ί Fresh Agricultural Products
π Livestock and related farm products
β¦and many other agricultural commodities.
This is not merely the establishment of another place for buying and selling. It is an initiative designed to strengthen the agricultural value chain and create greater economic opportunities for our people.
A STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR TRADE
The market is strategically located at:
π Ado Ekiti Road, Ayegunle Quarters, Irun Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria.
Its location is expected to make it accessible to farmers, traders, buyers, distributors and other commercial stakeholders within Irun and neighbouring communities.
The intention is to create a market where farm produce can move efficiently from the point of production to the point of consumption, while giving farmers and traders a better platform to expand their businesses.

TO OUR FARMERS
The Onirun-in-Council recognizes the important role our farmers play in the economic life of Irun.
Our farmers work tirelessly on our farms to produce the food that feeds our families and communities. Akorewolu Market is therefore an opportunity to bring more visibility, accessibility and commercial value to their hard work.
We encourage our farmers and agricultural producers to take advantage of this platform by bringing their produce to the market and connecting directly with wholesalers, distributors, retailers and bulk buyers.
Let what we produce in Irun create wealth for Irun.
---
TO OUR TRADERS, WHOLESALERS AND DISTRIBUTORS
Akorewolu Market provides an opportunity for traders and agricultural businesses to expand their operations.
We encourage wholesalers, distributors, retailers, food vendors, restaurants, supermarkets and other businesses that depend on agricultural products to make Akorewolu Market part of their regular trading activities.
Our aspiration is that the market will gradually become a major destination for agricultural commodities within Irun Akoko and beyond.
