President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali says the Skeldon Market in Berbice (Region Six) will be upgraded under the government’s Model Village initiative. The announcement focuses on improving conditions for residents, vendors and businesses at the market.
Both outlets describe the upgrade as part of a wider government infrastructure plan for Skeldon, aimed at modernising the area and improving the surrounding environment. They do not provide specific details in the shared excerpts on what the upgrade will include, when work will begin, or the estimated budget.
Across the sources, the core message is consistent: the market is slated for improvement as part of broader community development efforts tied to the Model Village programme. The coverage differs mainly in wording and presentation rather than substance, with both attributing the announcement to President Ali and linking it to infrastructure and environmental improvements.
