Traders at the Ngwa Road Market have appealed to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to honour his promise of ensuring that none of them will lose their shops when the new market is completed.
The Chairman, Ngwa Road Market Traders Association, Mr Chijindu Ojogho, made this appeal in Aba during the foundation laying ceremony for the reconstruction and expansion of the market and thanked the governor for his assurances.
He urged the governor to fulfil his promise as the traders were committed to supporting the policies of his administration.
Speaking during the event, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Trade and Investment, Chief Michael Egwu, assured the traders that none of the traders would lose their shop as a result of the reconstruction, adding that within eight weeks, the first phase of Lines 1 and 2 would be completed.
