New Trade Fair complex ‘ll create employments —ODSG

Ondo State Government has said that the proposed construction of a state of the art complex at the Trade Fair complex in Akure would create job opportunities and generate more revenue for the state when completed.

The State Commissioner for Commerce, Industries and Cooperative Services, Mrs. Lola Fagbemi stated this at the project site in Akure.

According to her, “We have met with business occupants of the complex severally to inform them of government intention to demolish the place and then build a state of the art complex to generate more revenue for the state.”

She said the government would refund their money for this year’s rent.

“The government has already moved some occupants to the industrial park, and mechanic village among other areas in Akure to continue their business seamlessly.

“So we are appealing to other occupants who are yet to move to do so. The rebuilding is very beneficial to all.”

She noted that the demolition of the Trade Fair Complex would pave way for a befitting Central Business District and urged the occupants to cooperate with the government to ensure the complex meets global standard and to attract more investors to the state.

Representing the investor, Adewale Olabode assured the state of good quality work delivery that would enhance the economic status of the state.

“Our teams are ready to move to the site and start work immediately. Our target is to build a world standard complex that would accommodate businesses and in return improve the revenue generation of the state.

Speaking on behalf of the occupants, Olusegun Oladimeji commended the government initiatives to give the complex a facelift.

He said, “The government has moved some of us to other space in Akure until the complex is completed while they also promise to give the present occupants priority to move back when completed.”

He commended the government for its readiness to pay back rents already paid by the occupants and business owners within the complex.
