a pragmatic case study design focused on the Niger-Delta Region, Nigeria. Questionnaires were distributed,
and interviews and observations conducted in New Town Market (Port Harcourt, Rivers State), Swali
Market (Yenegoa, Bayelsa State), and Uvwie Market (Warri, Delta State). The study, based on key enablers
of sustainable management, including organizational structure design, teamwork ethos, knowledge sharing,
commitment levels, good governance, regular sustainable management meetings, and motivation for the
management practice team. Quantitative data were analyzed through frequency tabulation, percentages,
