Levuka New Market Brings More Opportunities

Levuka Town now sets a new precedence for the people of Ovalau Island and the Lo­maiviti Group because of its new municipal market.

It was opened last Friday by the Minister for Housing and Local Government, Maciu Nalumisa.

The market will cater for commu­nities of Ovalau, Moturiki and the Lomaiviti Group.

"We thank all stakeholders who contributed to the construction of the new Levuka Market," Mr Nalu­misa said.

"It's a market, busy with a lot of people and will generate income for market vendors."

The ministry handed-over a nine­ton truck to help vendors in fish de­livery and other services in town.

"Government has contributed $180,000 for its (truck) purchase. Make this market and take owner­ship of it. You have one of the best markets around Fiji. Take pride in your town, support one another and embrace opportunities that this new facility will ring."
