Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, said: “Earlier today, we were given a tour of the Rungis International Market in Paris, the second largest wholesale food market in the world which we will replicate in Ijaiye, Ibadan, Oyo State this year. We have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Semmaris, France which is in charge of the market as we prepare to develop a similar one in Oyo State.
“The Rungis-style market in Ijaiye will create a ready market for wholesale agricultural produce thus benefitting our farmers, contributing to our economy and creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs. This is in keeping with our administration’s plan to ensure that Oyo State is the modern agribusiness hub of sub-Saharan Africa.
