Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State
On behalf of the good people of Baga Road, I write to draw your attention to the situation currently in Baga Road market, Maiduguri. I want your capable administration to reward the people of Baga Road for supporting you in successfully relocating and reconstructing the market to a better, safe and more comfortable environment.
Baga Road market is a place where hundreds of thousands of people live and engage in commercial activities. It is significant to the people of the entire city of Maiduguri and Borno State at large, as people gather daily to transact business in various commodities, including foodstuffs, and technical equipment.
The market has now assumed the status of the central market of Maiduguri following the recent fire outbreak at the Monday market. We need your assistance as a man of his people to relocate the market to a larger more conducive place.
It is pertinent to point out that the large number of people who run businesses every single day often leads to gridlock, criminal activities and inadequate ventilation among many other problems.
Also, in view of the Ramadan fast, more people now go to the market to transact business, which further compounds the problems.
So, in view of these numerous problems, there is a need to expand the market to enable the conducive conduct of business.
Failure to act may negatively affect the amount of revenue generated in the market. It is said that the market generates almost 30 per cent of the state’s revenue.
Therefore, Your Excellency, we need more of your attention to make the market more friendly for business. We recall how you handled the same situation for the people of Mairi, along Bama road, where you built the new Tashan Bama Motor Park and Market.
Thus we also need this good work on Baga Road for the benefit of the good people of Baga road and Maiduguri city.
