The commissioner also announced that the purpose of setting up the ISAMATA, caretaker committee, was to pave way for modern reforms for market development and revenue generation.
He said, “A caretaker committee is to pilot the affairs of this body till the next election. We were aware when they wanted to organize an election it created a lot of tension and caused so many issues.
“The governor said that he did not like what was happening and there is a need to organize the structures so that it will be easier to execute the reforms needed for market development in the state.
“Also, the aim is to drive up our revenue generation capacity. We believe that this leadership will do their best to lay a strong foundation for the development of our markets.
