Vacate Osisioma flyover or risk arrest, Gov Ikpeazu tells street traders

Posted by FN Editor | 2 years ago | 584 times



The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD has noted with great dismay, the recalcitrant attitude of street traders who have converted the space under and around the Osisioma Flyover into a market.

 

This attitude is in defiance of several attempts by government to keep the area free of any form of street trading.

 

The Osisioma Flyover is not just flagship infrastructural project of this administration, it is a major gateway into Aba and government will not allow the areas surrounding the edifice to be defaced by recalcitrant street traders. 

 

Consequently, the Governor has ordered all those involved in any form of trading under and around the Flyover to move out of the area immediately. No form of trading there will be tolerated henceforth.

 

The Governor has ordered Commissioners in charge of the Ministries of Trade and Investment, Transport and Works to immediately set up a Joint Task Force, and work in conjunction with Osisioma Ngwa LGA and the relevant security agencies to carry out this directive.

 

Effective Monday, the 11th day of April, 2022 any person found involved in any kind of trading under and around the Osisioma Flyover, at any time of the day, shall be promptly arrested and his wares permanently confiscated.

 

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

 

Sir Onyebuchi Ememanka

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.

9th April, 2022.
