PRESS STATEMENT


RSG TO CLOSE TRANS AMADI/ZOO ABATTOIR AND MARKET IN 2 WEEKS' TIME.


Rivers State Government says it
will close the Trans Amadi/
Oginigba/Zoo abattoir and
market in two weeks' time
because of the vandalisation of
government property around the Trans Amadi / Zoo
Roundabout by hoodlums who
use these places to perpetrate
criminality in the area.

A statement issued today( yesterday) in Port Harcourt by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications Barr Emma Okah said the Govt can no longer tolerate the alarming degree of criminality that define lives in that axis.

In addition, the place has
become an environmental
disaster in our State and every
effort made by the Govt. to
enthrone sanity and crime-free
regime there has been stoutly resisted by these hoodlums. In
some cases Govt officials have
been assaulted and shot at by
these criminal elements in their bid to assert supremacy.

Accordingly, all those carrying
on business at the slaughter as
well as other traders in the
slaughter market and it's
environ are hereby requested to vacate the place in two weeks' time.

"Rivers State Government will
unfailingly shut down the
market at the expiration of the
grace period" Okah said,
warning that traders who
refuse to vacate the abbatoir and the market will face the law at the appropriate time.

Well...............

good,get rid of those gworo chewing folks.... they contribute nothing to their host community,they only stay in clusters and wreck havoc both to d community nd environment

The drugs that can be got around there will surprise Pablo Escobar, not even talking about the street traders that impede movement. Sanity needs to be enforced in that area

Close that place and send any jobless looking Aboki back to Kano

Some idiots wants to make it look like it's an Aboki Tin

can't we do without cow meet?

Yes it is an aboki thing because they have constituted themselves to be above the law with the help of the abokis in uniform.

Wike!
No nonsense man!!

Same way Mile 12 will go down soon.

If we must eat cow meat; why can't we do it ourselves?

Good development. Abokis have turned that place into criminal hideout.

What werr they expecting after attacking a commissioner?? Wike won't take it from you guys, no southerner can attack a northern commission in his own state..

Anambrarians have keyed into the business of ranching. I was surprised when I travelled round and saw ranches in different parts of Anambra state owned and managed by ndigbo. I believe other states should do the same. Fulanis and awusas should stay back in their enclaves.

There is a nearby market called Gbakagbaka market. That is where they were intended to be relocated. They should all go there.

Close the market

Make traders beg

Increase tax

Mr Project!! I hail you. For this he should be forgiven for any past transgressions.
Slaughter market is a disaster. A huge nuisance. They should also chase away those indisciplined taxi drivers who obstruct traffic flow with impunity.

like for PDP and share for apc

GAZZUZZ:


We are not that disciplined

I tell u.
I have only bought cow meat twice to add to either my goat or chicken for he past 6months and that's discipline.

I told someone that goat or chicken is cheaper but he said it was a lie.

I usually buy chicken or goat meat to prepare my food.
If only most of us can try to make do with it, the pressure for cow meat will reduce.

That place cannot contain all of the traders o.
