By Abdullahi InuwaÂ
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has once again proven his dedication to quality leadership and effective service delivery with the successful completion of the Potiskum Ultra-Modern Market, fulfilling a major campaign promise and reinforcing his commitment to transformative governance.
The market, which now stands as one of the most advanced commercial centers in the North-East, spans an impressive 8.5 hectares and features a comprehensive array of facilities that reflect careful planning, modern standards, and a strong vision for economic development.
A Market Built for Progress
The newly commissioned market comprises 575 shops, a well-equipped abattoir, administrative building, perimeter fencing, exit gates, gatehouses, public conveniences, parking lots, security outposts, and a well-laid internal road network. Constructed strictly in line with original specifications, the market is not just a fulfillment of a political promise but a symbol of strategic investment in infrastructure and commerce.
With Potiskum long known as a commercial nerve center in the region, the completion of this market is expected to elevate its economic status, increase trade volume, and empower hundreds of businesses across various sectors.
Economic Impact and Regional Influence
The Potiskum Ultra-Modern Market is already being hailed by traders, transporters, and business leaders as a game-changer. It is designed to boost trade, stimulate economic growth, and position Potiskum as a premier commercial hub in northern Nigeria. Its thoughtful layout and supporting infrastructure offer not only convenience and safety but also create an enabling environment for sustainable entrepreneurship.
Truck Transit Park: A Vision Nearing Reality
In addition to the completed market, the Governor’s administration is also on the verge of delivering another landmark project — the Potiskum Truck Transit Park. This multi-functional facility is expected to create over 5,000 direct jobs, while significantly enhancing the state’s economy.
The Truck Transit Park will include hotel accommodations, ample parking space for trucks, a medical clinic, fire service station, and even a football field to cater to both commercial and social needs. These amenities are strategically designed to support the transport industry, improve road safety, and provide essential services for motorists and freight operators.
Once completed, the park is expected to attract logistics operators from across Nigeria and neighboring countries, making Potiskum a critical node in national and regional transport networks.
A Legacy of Purposeful Leadership
Both projects stand as strong evidence of Governor Mai Mala Buni’s visionary leadership and commitment to impactful governance. By focusing on infrastructural development, economic empowerment, and social investment, the Governor is not only transforming Potiskum but also setting new standards for leadership in Yobe State.
As residents celebrate these achievements, it is clear that Governor Buni is not just promising change—he is delivering it, project by project, brick by brick.
