Gov Godwin Obaseki of Edo has said that his administration would build functional clinics and crèches in markets in the State.
Obaseki said this after he made an on-the-spot assessment of facilities at the Oba market in Benin on Friday.
The governor, displeased with the decayed toilets, non-functional clinics and poor power supply at the market, promised to revive and create such facilities across markets in the state.
“The provision of clinics in markets will help to take healthcare closer to traders who spend most of their time in the markets.
