The traders, who said they eagerly await to receive the Governor to the flag-off ceremony slated to be held on Thursday, 8th August, 2024, also expressed their confidence and trust in the governor that there will be total transparency in the reallocation of shops, as the Government of Abia State, under Governor Alex Otti, is known to be committed to the good of all.
It is also important to point out that the Government of Abia State has made it abundantly clear that it has no plan to demolish the entire Ekeoha Shopping Centre, as the remodeling will be done in phases, hence only a section of the market will be affected in this first phase of the demolition and remodeling.
Affected traders are advised to immediately visit the Market Committee Chairman’s office for allocation of temporary shops at the nextdoor GSM market which have been paid for by the developer.
