A business mogul, Architect Chukwuka Okonkwo has extolled Governor Chukwuma Soludo for the establishment of Anambra State Anti-Touting Squared, SASA.

 

Speaking to the ABS in Awka, Architect Okonkwo who is also a transport executive said that what Governor Soludo has done is a clear manifestation that he has the interests of Ndi Anambra at heart and listens to the yearnings of the citizenry.

 

He explained that the activities of touts have caused untold hardship to the people of the state, as well as those who come to Anambra for business transactions especially in Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi.

 

Architect Okonkwo added that commercial transporters in the state are being harassed on daily basis by touts, extorting money from them and expressed hope that with the establishment of SASA, touting and other type of criminalities will be a thing of the past in Anambra.

 

According to the business Mogul who is a stakeholder in Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area, the establishment of the squad will also help to checkmate multiple taxation as touts are known for engaging in illegal revenue collections, apart from causing nuisance to the society.

 

Architect Okonkwo appealed to Ndi Anambra both at home and in the diaspora to support the current administration in the state for it to succeed for a greater Anambra that will be secure, liveable and prosperous.
