“This market will be named after one of our leader, the former Chairman of Kosofe Local Government, we are finishing strong, we are commissioning sport complex and recreational center.

“If you want a modern shop, Agboyi-ketu is the place to come. You can’t have a shop here and not sell, come and invest. It is a densely populated area, we should keep it clean and neat”. She said
