Rivers market will be completed by Jan 2027 — Fubara

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has confirmed that the Creek Road Market construction project in Port Harcourt will be finished by January 2027. During a site inspection, Fubara attributed the delay in the road rehabilitation works to street traders taking over the Creek Road axis. He emphasized that relocating traders to the new market is the only way to restore traffic flow.

The first phase of the market will feature around 700 stalls and shops, covering both wet and dry sections. Fubara praised the contractor's work quality and expressed confidence in the project's timely completion, emphasizing the government's commitment to addressing funding and environmental concerns.
