AN OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR AHMADU UMARU FINTIRI OF ADAMAWA STATE




Your Excellency, 


I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Once again, congratulations on your successful re-election for a second term. This is evident that Adamawa people are not in a hurry to let you go, most especially when there is more to do for the upliftment of the state.


I write to you with great concern about the time of opening of the Jimeta Ultra Modern Market in Adamawa State. The current time of opening, which is 9am, often goes beyond 9am and sometimes close to 10am. I believe this issue is worthy of your attention as early opening of the market has numerous benefits. 


First of all, early opening of the market will create a more conducive business environment in the state. This will help create a better atmosphere for traders and buyers alike. As Adamawa is becoming the business hub in the northeast, this means there will be more opportunities for people to buy what they need in a timely manner without having to wait in long hours until the market opens.


Secondly, an early opening of the market will encourage local businesses to grow faster. This will in turn spur economic growth and development of the state. With these businesses comes more jobs which can go a long way in reducing unemployment in the state. 


Thirdly, an early opening of the market will mean more productive use of time for the traders and staff at the Jimeta Ultra Modern Market. This means that there will be more efficient use of time which will result in higher efficiency and profitability for the market.


I am compelled to write you again on this subject, as previous observations where still prevalent, and it aches my heart to see buyers and sellers waiting for long before the market gates are open to them.


Adamawa should take a queue from other northern states vis a vis how trades and businesses thrive.


I pray this request is swiftly considered for the benefit of all. 


Accept the assurances of my highest regards.


Peter Cheman Koti,

Koti, Song LGA.
