traders in the state to also use their wealth to build industries
instead of only trading, as a way of helping the present government in
creating more employment opportunities for the youths.

them to sustain the peaceful co-existence in the market.

Uzodinma Onyido and his Umuawulu counterpart, Igwe Joel Egwuonwu

people across Nigeria especially Ndi Anambra should come and patronize
the traders as a way of supporting the unprecedented gesture.
