The reconstruction of Olorunda, Aare Alasa Market in Akanran, Ona Ara Local Government Area, has been completed as part of efforts to improve rural trade, strengthen agricultural marketing and create better business opportunities for traders and farmers in Oyo State.

The project was executed under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP), with funding jointly provided by the Oyo State Government, the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD).

The market reconstruction was awarded to Quickbond Nigeria Limited, while the completed facility is expected to provide an improved trading environment and support commercial activities in the community.

The Oyo State Government Feedback Service announced the completion in an update published on November 4, 2026, alongside photographs of the reconstructed market.

The Olorunda, Aare Alasa Market project is among three market infrastructure projects recently completed under RAAMP in the state.

Others are Oja Agbe Market in Iseyin Local Government Area and Oja Oba Market in Ibarapa Central Local Government Area.

The market interventions form part of the state’s efforts to improve rural infrastructure and strengthen the connection between farming communities, traders and consumers.

Through RAAMP, the government is also undertaking improvements to rural access roads to ease the transportation of agricultural produce and improve access to markets.

The projects are expected to reduce challenges associated with rural trading, facilitate the movement of farm produce and stimulate economic activities in the benefiting communities.
