GOVERNOR OKOROCHA FULFILS PROMISES: BUILDS ULTRA-MODERN RELIEF MARKET IN OWERRI.
Determined to creating a conducive market environment and discourage street trading the Executive Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Owelle (Dr.) Rochas Anayo Ethelbert Okorocha (HERO) has made good of his promises as he builds the ultra-Modern Relief Market in Owerri.
Recall that in one of his unscheduled visit to traders in Ekeukwu market, Gov. Okorocha announced that his administration would build a relief market in the state to accommodate more traders and provide opportunity for street traders to own shops.
The governor said that with the construction of the relief market, street trading would be abolished in Owerri since traders from other markets who do not have shops would be accommodated.
It is heart warming today to see that the market has been fully constructed and allocated.
A visit to the market would leave no one in doubt of governor Okorocha\’s genuine love and passion for the people of the state.
Speaking to our correspondent, the visibly elated chairman of the Relief Market Association Mr. Hyacinth Ejiogu who was full of praises for the Rescue Mission thanked Gov. Okorocha for living up to his promises. He called on his colleagues who are yet to have a shop in the market to hurry as there still exist some vacant shops waiting to be occupied. He called for a security to be beefed up in the area to avoid theft and shop lifting.
