Soludo Commends Onitsha Main Market Traders
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has expressed satisfaction with the level of compliance shown by traders at the Onitsha Main Market in adhering to government directives aimed at maintaining order and improving commercial activities in the state.
Speaking during a recent engagement with market leaders and stakeholders, Governor Soludo described the response of traders as “clinical,” noting that their cooperation reflects a growing commitment to discipline, structured trading practices, and collective progress.
“I am impressed by the clinical compliance to our directives by traders of the Onitsha Main Market,” the governor stated.
The governor’s commendation comes amid ongoing reforms introduced by the Anambra State Government to ensure proper regulation of markets, enhance safety, and promote a cleaner, more organized trading environment. These directives include measures on sanitation, traffic control, security, and adherence to market operational guidelines.
Onitsha Main Market, one of the largest commercial hubs in West Africa, plays a crucial role in the economic life of Anambra State and the wider South-East region. The government has continued to prioritize its stability and development as part of broader efforts to strengthen the state’s business climate.
Governor Soludo said that the cooperation of traders is essential to achieving his administration’s vision of transforming Anambra into a prosperous, livable, and investment-friendly state.
Market leaders also welcomed the governor’s remarks, assuring the government of continued partnership in ensuring that the market remains conducive for business and growth.
The governor urged traders across other major markets in the state to emulate the Onitsha Main Market’s example, stressing that sustainable development can only be achieved when citizens work hand-in-hand with government policies.
With the renewed spirit of collaboration, the Anambra State Government says it remains committed to implementing reforms that will benefit traders, residents, and the overall economy.
