Mile One Traders Laud Wike Over Market Project
Mile One market traders in Rumuwoji Community, Port Harcourt have lauded the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for addressing the plight of the traders as he rebuilt the burnt Mile One market Phase II.
The traders gave the kudos during the project inspection tour to the market by governor Wike over the weekend.
Speaking to our correspondent, a petty trader along Ikwerre road, Mrs Ibiso Johnson, said that governor Wike had broken the camel’s back by embarking on the re-construction of the old burnt Mile One market to a standard model market of international repute.
She accused the previous administration of betraying the future and hope of the common traders whose survival were dependent on enabling infrastructure and micro incentives, saying that traders were sabotaged and frustrated and now falls back to street trading, pending when the new Mile One market Phase II would be completed and commissioned by the peoples governor, Nyesom Wike.
In his view, Mr Ebere Izuchukwu, a trader along Afikpo Street, lauded Wike for his magnanimity and support towards commercial activities in the area, saying that the reconstruction of the burnt Mile One market in Rumuwoji Community would boost business activities and enhance the revenue generation of the government as well as create more opportunities and space for commercial engagements.
He charged the Federal Government and Independent National Electoral Commission to declare Wike the winner of the election, noting that Governor Wike is the peoples governor that need not canvas for the votes, rather his good works earned him “Mr. Project” and people voted for him massively in that direction.
“He is the man we know and he will surely be there for second tenure to commission more projects for the state,” he added.
