An update and pictures of the construction of Modern Stalls and a Motor Park at Bodija Market by Ibadan North Local Government Council. The Ibadan North Local Government Council has completed the construction of modern stalls and a motor park at Bodija Market, providing improved trading spaces and better transport coordination within one of the busiest commercial areas in Ibadan.
The newly developed facility, named after Alhaji Chief Sunmaila Aderemi Jimoh, was officially opened with 540 stalls allocated to traders at no cost. The initiative is part of the government’s efforts to improve the trading environment while addressing congestion and informal roadside trading around the Bodija axis.
During the opening, Governor Seyi Makinde emphasised that the government’s approach is to provide suitable alternatives for traders before enforcing environmental and urban management regulations.
According to Governor Makinde, the objective is to ensure that traders operating along roadsides have access to organised and safer trading spaces that support their businesses while maintaining environmental order in the city.
The provision of the modern stalls and the accompanying motor park is expected to ease congestion in the area, improve market organisation, and enhance access for both traders and customers. It also contributes to ongoing efforts to strengthen market infrastructure and promote orderly commercial activities across the city.
With the new facility now operational, traders can conduct their businesses in a more structured environment designed to support commerce, improve accessibility, and maintain cleanliness within the market area.
