Mr Wellington Omoragbon, State Director, Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), Edo, says the Federal Government of Nigeria has begun the construction of a
fish market at Illushi Community in Edo.
Omoragbon told reporters on Monday in Benin that the fish
market was located at Illushi in Esan South-East Local Government Area.
According to him, the market construction which started in
December 2016 and is expected to be completed within six weeks; is being funded
from the 2016 budget.
“The market will consist of eight open stalls with cold
rooms, four toilets, bathrooms and a borehole,’’ he said.
He said that the location of market was chosen by the state
government because fishing was the major occupation of the people.
According to him, Illushi community is located along the
bank of the River Niger.
