Governor Soludo
By LUCY OSUIZIGBO-OKECHUKWU
Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra, has given roadside traders operating around the newly constructed Ekwulobia Fly-over bridge in Aguata Local Government Area a two-week ultimatum to vacate the area.
Soludo gave the ultimatum on Thursday, while inspecting an ongoing project around the area.
He directed the traders to relocate and make use of the new market which had been constructed by the government to accommodate them.
According to him, any trader found operating around this fly-over bridge after this two weeks ultimatum will be arrested and prosecuted.
?Go and register for free at the Aguata LGA, if you want a shop in the newly constructed market. Every trader should move to the new market.
?Also commercial vehicles loading passengers around the fly-over bridge should move to the new site.?
The governor said that the directive was borne out of the need to address concerns regarding traffic congestion, safety hazards, and the overall aesthetics of the newly completed structure.
According to him, the government cannot allow the vibrant urban landscape to be marred by unregulated trading activities that pose safety risks and undermine the project?s integrity. (NAN)
