Unionist Tasks Traders On Stalls Allocation

Mile one market traders have been advised not to be deceived and misled by mischief makers over the state governments good intention to allocate the new Rumuwoji Ultra modern fire resistant market stalls to genuine original owners of stores.

The state council chairman, Ikwerre Elites Traders Association, Deacon Kenneth Eze gave the advice on Saturday in his office in Port Harcourt.

According to him, the hope of every trader is hinged on Governor Amaechi’s assurance to consider those who were originally displaced during the reconstruction of the market before others and wondered why traders would not exercise patience and adhere to the call by the market allocation committee headed by the state Attorney-General Ken Chikere, for people to obtain their forms with N10,000 only.

While commending the governor for improving the business environment of traders in the state by upgrading markets in the city to ultra-modern edifices, he also appealed t hat construction of  the next phase of the Rumuwoji Mile One market should be considered in the next budget. Eze called on members of the association to shun the deceit of mischief makers whose stock-in-trade is to distabilise the efforts and genuine intentions of the state government  to better the social and economic well being of the people of the state and avail themselves the opportunity by heeding to the call by government for people to collect the allocation forms at the designated place.
