In a developing country such as our country Nigeria where there a no infrastructure in place to aid and support the sales of products by market men and women, the Ayegbaju International market was conceived by the Aregbesola administration to bridge this, a project which also serves as a tool to the under nourished economy of the state whose main source of revenue generation is solely dependent on tax payers.
The Ayegbaju international market is jointly owned by the Osun state government and the Edward consult limited, an estate developer.
In furtherance to bringing the conceived project to realization, an agreement in form of Private-Public Partnership (PPP) was struck between Edward consult limited and the Osun state government. In not more than two years in which the agreement was made, the project was commissioned on the 7th of July, 2014 by Governor Rauf Aregbesola alongside some of the state stakeholders and top traditional rulers.
The Ayegbaju International market is one of its kind in the country, it is one of the finest markets in the south western region of the country and in Nigeria as a whole.
A market that sits on eleven-kilometer square land mass, housing over a hundred lock-up shops inclusive of a Health center, exclusive shops, administrative and Maintenance offices, Public toilets, cafeteria, banks, wash bay, Bukataria, warehouses, Cold rooms, Mosque, Police post among others.
