This market is named Worldbank market because it's the main market that serves residents of Worldbank,a housing estate in the Owerri west local government area just before umuguma village.
The market faces the road though it stretches into the  Worldbank housing estate on the right if you're coming from the city capital.

The market was divided into different sections for different goods and services,but at the moment people are just perched wherever they can find space because the market is undergoing renovations as you'll  see in the pictures below.

The market became too crowded and disorderly from too many vendors who scattered at different sections trying to sell one thing or another. 
The market union with aid of the state government are building sheds so they can share the market into sections as you can see in the picture below to create organization and orderliness among the market traders.

Sheds under construction.

Another reason this market is my favourite is because it's within walking distance from my house, so I get to save transport anytime I visit it.
Here's the end product of my visit to the market today
