Activating Akụ Road Market: Engr. Jude Asogwa's Quest for the Utilization of Markets in the Development of Nsukka.

Engr. Jude Asogwa Developing Aku Road Market Through Construction of More Shops

The vibrant Aku Road Market in Nsukka is poised for significant developmental transformation as the Chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area, Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, is set to remodel the market. This market, which initially gained prominence and expanded following the demolition of some sections of Ogige Market, is now receiving substantial attention from the council chairman. It is undergoing an expansion with the addition of more market stalls (shop rows), increasing capacity to serve a larger populace and thereby enhancing greater economic growth.

Driven by a clear vision to leverage market development for the progress of Nsukka Local Government Area, the Chairman has initiated a comprehensive plan to elevate Akụ Road Market to modern standards through various strategic interventions. Shortly after assuming office, the Council Chairman significantly enhanced the market's infrastructure by installing a 300kva electricity transformer and ensuring comprehensive electricity reticulation throughout the market. This current infill development represents a meticulously planned phase, carefully considering critical factors such as optimal space for entry, exit and discharging areas of heavy-duty vehicles (given the significant warehouse presence), appropriate stall-to-stall distancing, and dedicated private parking areas. These new stalls are being constructed in areas where private individuals had previously operated small kiosk shops in available spaces within the market.

It is pertinent to recall that the interim report submitted by the Market Allocation and Verification Committee included recommendations for the provision of new markets and the expansion of existing ones to help cushion the effects of the Ogige Market section demolition. The construction of these additional market stalls will significantly increase the number of available shops, thereby alleviating scarcity and, in turn, potentially reducing the cost of shops.

Furthermore, the Council Chairman's future plans for the market includes the provision of essential amenities crucial for healthier living, such as potable water supply and the construction of modern toilet facilities, aimed at transforming Aku Road Market into a truly state-of-the-art establishment befitting Nsukka City.

In line with the recent interim report from the Market Allocation and Verification Committee, Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment and strategic quest to leverage market development as a cornerstone for the overall progress of Nsukka Local Government Area. The Chairman, having already initiated the expansion of Afor Opi market, has extended similar infill development efforts to portions of Ogige Market and now Akụ Road Market. Additionally, the Chairman has expressed a clear intent to address the needs of Nsukka residents through the development of an entirely new modern market within Nsukka LGA. Recent findings indicate that preparations are well underway for the flag-off of this significant new market project, poised to contribute ultimately to the all-encompassing development of the local government area.
