Ariaria International Market was established in 1976 following a fire outbreak that destroyed the old Ekeoha Market in Aba. The market was originally sited in a swampy area. The market is known for its shoemaking and leather works thus making it one of the largest leather shoe-making markets in West Africa with an estimated two million traders. For more than two decades, the market has serviced clients home and abroad. Manufacturers in the market boast that their clientele base extends beyond the shores of Africa. “Many citizens in Europe and Africa have the market to thank for many of the leather shoes they wear,” Amobi Nwanagu, President, StandUp Africa, claims.

I don't know that this market is so large like this, some youtbers only video the few new buildings completed. To rebuild the whole of this market will take years and a lot of money .kudos to the government of Abia State for the ones they have done so far
I hope they have capable fire station there and multiple water hydrants in different locations around the market.
This is literally the biggest market I’ve seen
Omo this market big ooo and nobody has ever covered the market like this. Man you too much🙌
