The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi), has pledged to facilitate the commencement of Phase Two of the construction of modern shops at Obada Market in Ijebu Igbo, Ijebu North Local Government Area, following a request made by the Paramount Ruler of Ijebu-Igbo, His Royal Majesty, Oba Lawrence Jaiyeoba Adebajo, the Orimolusi of Ijebu-Igbo.
Senator Adeola made the commitment during the Ijebu North stakeholders’ engagement meeting held at Omo Ilu Hall, Ijebu-Igbo, on Friday, November 13, 2026, as part of his engagement tour of local governments across Ogun State.
The promise followed the monarch’s appeal for the continuation of the modern market project, particularly the execution of its second phase, to further improve trading facilities and create a more conducive business environment for traders at Obada Market.
Responding to the request, Yayi assured the royal father and other stakeholders of his commitment to supporting the project, while also promising more developmental initiatives for Ijebu North Local Government.
He emphasised the importance of infrastructure development, economic empowerment and projects that directly impact the lives and livelihoods of the people.
The pledge was received as an encouraging development for the community, especially traders and business owners who stand to benefit from the proposed expansion of the market facilities.
The engagement once again highlighted the importance of constructive dialogue between traditional institutions, community stakeholders and political leaders in identifying priority projects capable of driving development at the grassroots.
Yayi’s assurance of further development projects has raised expectations among stakeholders and residents of Ijebu North, who look forward to the actualisation of the proposed initiatives.
