Some drivers, passengers and shop owners who spoke also expressed their happiness and stressed the need for proper maintenance culture and sanitation in the park inline with its standard.

“The park plan need to be maintained by not allowing any illegal structure, while the trees planted at strategic locations need to be nurtured to maturity to enhance the fresh environment,” Ndotti Abba, a shop owner said.

Some students and staff of University of Maiduguri that is located near the park, said it would provide them where to shop for provisions and other food items without them going far into the town for their shoppings.

“As you can see the park and market are modern and a trekking distance from the university.

“Staff and students don’t need to pay transport to come here and shop for foodstuff.

“It’s also a relief to us as where to shop and board vehicles when travelling,” Yahaya Lawan, a student said.
