The Imo State Government is to relocate
street traders from Owerri , especially those along Douglas Road to Relief
Market, to restore sanity to the state capital.
The State Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha
who said this while inspecting over 400 shops built by his administration at
Relief Market, disclosed that the shops were put in place to accommodate all
street traders who constitute road nuisance and to allow for maintenance of
road and drainages along Douglas which are in bad state.
He said the shops will be completed
before the 2nd week of April this year, adding that shanties
and street trading along Douglas road will no longer be tolerated by the State
government.
He disclosed that necessary awareness
will be made and directed for the release of forms for the acquisition of the
shops which will be at a very low cost to enable interested traders do obtain
it.
Governor Okorocha warned traders who
display their wares along the road to desist forth with stressing that with
this current development, goods along the road will be confiscated and given to
motherless homes and prisons. He warned against indiscriminate dumping of refuse
and solicited cooperation from the general public to bring sanity in our
environment.
