THE Manager of Gizo Market acknowledges the recent leadership training conducted for market vendors, describing it as timely and essential for the future of the market.
Market Manager Moffat Maeta said the training is paramount as Gizo Market continues to provide essential services to both residents of Gizo and visiting customers.
He said participants have gained valuable knowledge and skills that will help strengthen the management and operations of the market.
“I’m planning to resign from being the Market Manager soon. I want to declare to you that this is my final year.
“I trust that you will take up the role,” Maeta said.
He encourages participants to step forward and apply what they have learned for the betterment of the market.
Maeta emphasized that Gizo Market plays a crucial role in the daily lives of people, as many families rely on it to purchase fresh produce and other essential goods.
“People rely on the market to buy fresh produce and it is important that as a market manager, we need to ensure products are fresh, in good quality and fit for human consumption,” he said.
He stressed that human health must remain a top priority in market management.
While vendors operate to earn an income, Maeta reminds vendors that selling quality and safe products is equally important.
“As a market manager, your role is to ensure there is unity between vendors and the products are healthy,” he said.
Maeta also highlighted that managing a market requires dealing with people from different backgrounds and addressing issues responsibly and fairly.
The leadership training is expected to empower vendors with stronger management capabilities and foster unity among sellers, ensuring that Gizo Market continues to serve the community effectively.
It was facilitated by UN-Women through the M4C program.
