Indeed, Hon. Ejike Itodo, the Executive Chairman of Igboeze North Local Government Area, has again added yet another  giant feather to his cap by broadening up and decongesting  the Eke Ozzi Market space thereby enhancing opportunities as well as ease of doing business in the market, which is located at the heart of urban area of Ogrute, which is also the landlord of the council headquarters.
TimesReporters understand that four sections the market including the butchers secrion, the Plastics dealers, electronics, music and video dealers along with livestock dealers specialising on sales of goats and rams, sections were alloted brand new shops.
Represented by the Secretary to the Local Government, Barrister Paul Odoh, during the  commissioning of the project, the Council Chairman, Hon Itodo, said the market expansion became necessary to attract more people to visit and purchase local goods and services.
Itodo said at this stage where new opportunities for marketing rural destinations abound through the use websites, smartphones applications and social media, Eke Ozzi, which is Igboeze North’s main market cannot be seen to be lagging behind hence the massive expansion.
“Expanding rural markets means attracting more people to rural areas where they can then purchase local goods and services. This offers the potential for increased margins and improved returns for rural producers.
“There are new opportunities for marketing rural destinations through websites, smartphone applications and social media. These can increase visitor numbers to an area and also help consumers to locate individual rural businesses. This is why we decided to not only expand the market by creating more shops but also make the place more beautiful in line with the global trends” he said.

In the same vein, the boreholes earlier built and commissioned by the State Government was officially handed over to the Market Union to maintain and ensure that the borehole optimally utilized.
