Warri South Chairman Unveils New Ugbuwangue Modern Market


An Ultra-Modern Market with 110 Lock-Up Stalls and 120 Open Market Stalls in Ugbuwangue Community renovated and built by the Warri South Local Government Council, was on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 commissioned for business activities.

The Chairman, Warri South Local Government Area, Dr. Michael Tidi in an address, said that the essence of renovating the 110 lock-up stalls handed over to the council by Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, under his leadership and the construction of an additional 120 open market stalls, was to change the narrative of Warri from negativity in all sectors to positivity, in line with his administration’s policy of enhancing the socio-economic fortunes of the local government area.
