Jonathan Visit: Anambra Closes Markets by Dainfamous: 8:23pm On Aug 28, 2012 |
Anambra orders closure of markets as Jonathan visit Awka – The Anambra government has ordered the closure of four major markets in the state ahead of President Goodluck Jonathan’s planned visit to the state on Aug. 30. The markets are the Onitsha Main market in Onitsha North and other markets in Ogbaru, Onitsha South and Idemili North local government areas. The state Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Chief Joe-Martins Uzodike, said on Tuesday in Awka that the decision was to forestall any security breach. Uzodike also announced a restriction of vehicular movement in the areas between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m on the day of the visit. “All markets in Onitsha North, Onitsha South, Ogbaru and Idemili North local government areas shall be closed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Thursday Aug. 30. “This is to pave way for easy flow of traffic during the president’s visit in the areas,” the commissioner said. He appealed to the traders and transport operators as well as residents to regard the measure as a necessary sacrifice for the betterment of the state. According to him, the President’s visit will pave way for the creation of 5,000 jobs and change the fortune of the state in many other ways. The President is expected to, among other projects, inaugurate the Orient Petroleum Oil, SABMiller Brewery, Orange Drugs Company, Krisoral Company and the Onitsha Inland port. The Onitsha Bridge Head gate will also be renamed after Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu during the visit. Gov. Peter Obi had said that the President would inaugurate projects executed by both the private sector and his administration during the visit.

Anambra still remains my best Igbo state because they seem to be the only Igbo group that looks home when building a factory or any company for that matter. If all of Igbo land can be like Ndi Anambra, then Igbo land will be better for it. Since the Onitsha bridge will be renamed after Ojukwu, i think his statue should be erected somewhere around there. 4 Likes |

For an Anambra man to close his shop because of you Mr. President shows the love and respect they have for you, during the election Anambra had the 2nd highest percentage of voters that voted for you (second only to Bayelsa your state). Please do well to look into the problem of our state e.g the second Niger bridge you promised since the begining of your tenure 1 Like |

redsun: More like a junta's visit,than a democratically selected presi-thief. He is scared of a bunch of MASSOB NIGGAS and Ignorant Nigerians acting a fool and forcing his well trained security detail to open fire on them and lay them all out.. Look at it like this, the closing of those markets and temporary curfew is more to your advantage than his.. Call it saving you from him.. |
