Shomide implored the market leaders, traders and the people of Abeokuta South Local Government to judiciously use the facilities.

The council boss appreciated the governor of Ogun State, Prince (Dr.) Dapo Abiodun, for the privileges given to them to be able to actualise the promises made to the electorates, adding that the construction of the projects is as a result of challenges of the traders at Adatan market.
