Anambra State governor, Mr.Peter Obi, yesterday shut down illegal markets on the stretch of roads from the bridge head Onitsha to Zik round as well as the dual carriage way from Awka to Onitsha.

The governor made this announcement during the inspection of the on- going reconstruction work on the road.”

A visibly- angry Obi lamented that he had for years appealed to traders on the axis to leave without success.
According to him: “I knew what it took me to persuade contractors working in Anambra State to cut their holidays short and resume work at their various sites.

“It is annoying that having resumed work, they are prevented on many sites from working because some people are trading on the sites, parking vehicles and even defecating.

“We shall no longer tolerate that. I hereby order the immediate shutting down of illegal markets along the road.

He added: “Before the end of the month, we shall relocate to Onitsha to monitor things ourselves until the town and all our other towns return to their old glory.

“We must forcefully demonstrate that Onitsha and any part of Anambra State is not meant for pigs, but for humans.”

This is the pictures of the Head Bridge to Upper Iweka as at September last year. Obi is still demolishing and firing work on the road to be like Abuja roads. Am sure they must have been at the completion stage and markings by now.

This is another area of the Onitsha Fed. Highway near Zik's Junction. Work is seriously ongoing with major widening and expansion of the road.

More work presently going on in the economic city of Onitsha
