The Kalabari community came alive with excitement on Thursday, April 2, 2026, as the former Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Senator Ipalibo Banigo, commissioned a newly constructed ultra-modern market in Harry’s Town.
The commissioning ceremony attracted a large turnout of community members, traders, and local leaders, all gathered to witness what many described as a landmark development for the area.
For years, traders in the community had operated under challenging and often unsafe conditions. The newly inaugurated market is designed to address these challenges by providing a modern, well-organized, and accessible trading environment aimed at enhancing commercial activities and improving the livelihoods of residents.
Speaking during the event, Senator Banigo emphasized her commitment to grassroots development, noting that the project goes beyond infrastructure.
According to her, the market represents the fulfillment of a promise made to the people and serves as a strategic step toward economic empowerment across the Rivers West Senatorial District.
Stakeholders at the event commended the initiative, describing it as timely and impactful, with the potential to stimulate local economic growth and improve the standard of living in the Kalabari region.
