Anambra has 66 major markets spread across the state Onitsha main market is the largest within the region and country at large.
Onitsha Market is one of the largest markets in West Africa.[1] It is governed by one of the most revered traders associations in Nigeria, the Onitsha Market Traders Association (OMATA). Most of the major import merchants from Eastern Nigeria have their head offices within the market. The average traders in the area are known to bring in at least six consignments of 40 tonnes (40-feet containers) of goods annually. Some of the major importers do more than 20 consignments of 40 tonnes of goods per year. These include jewelry, clothing, household, industrial and office equipment.

It is bounded by the River Niger to the West and Fegge through Osumaru Road from the East. The market is secured by the Onitsha Main Market Vigilante Services working under the auspices of the Nigeria Police Force. The market can rightfully be described as the commercial power house of West Africa. It is massively patronized by merchants in the ECOWAS sub-region including Accra, Abidjan, Douala, Niamey and Cotonou to mention a few.

Onitsha market

Onitsha is a rising giant. A forward thinking governor with a taste for aesthetics is all that is needed to put this market in order, like having about ten high rise buildings within the market built on site where old buildings would be demolished. Onitsha has the potential to be another window to the world.

Otu Onicha! A testament to the resilience of the Igbo spirit. Just after the civil war this market lay barren after it was looted and razed by the invading forces. Today it is the biggest market in West Africa. With just ten pounds to their names, the Igbo nation bounced back.
