Anambra State government has sealed off electronics Market at Iweka road in Onitsha over refusal by traders to relocate to their permanent site in Atani, Ogbaru Local Government Area.

The Managing Director of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra, OCHA Brigade Mr Celestine Anere, who disclosed this in an interview immediately after conducting the exercise, explained that the relocation of the market became expedient because the location at the current site is not in line with the planning of the city.

 

According to Mr Anere, the closure of the market became necessary after traders at the market refused to relocate to the new permanent site despite several notices by the state government.

He assured the traders that the new site is better planned to accommodate them and that government has provided necessary facilities for conducive business transactions and enjoined traders to relocate to the new site in Atani.
