Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has approved the commencement of phased redevelopment of Ariaria International Market, Aba, from Sunday, 5th September, 2021.
Recall that the administration has made several efforts to reconstruct the 47-year old market in order to tackle its age-long structural issues with many of the shops as well as provide the necessary modern infrastructure to deal with the perennial flooding challenges particularly with A-Line while delivering other amenities like befitting car parks, conveniences, beautification of the surroundings, improved fire fighting capacity and such other facilities to our traders.
A cabal in the market that had been profiting from its current state had sought to place unnecessary legal and other obstacles on the path of government’s efforts and had hampered previous attempts at commencing works in the market in April 2021, but in the interest of overwhelming public good, we are compelled to go ahead with redevelopment efforts in one of the foremost markets in the country.
In recent days, different social media platforms have been inundated with uncomplimentary videos of flooded A-Line that obviously also endangers traders and shoppers alike while bringing the government into public odium. No responsible government will, in the face of such images making the rounds on social media, sit back and watch without taking appropriate actions to deliver the much needed solution as quickly as possible.
Consequently, after a final consultative meeting with stakeholders of Ariaria International Market on Tuesday, 24th August, 2021, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the phased redevelopment of the market as follows:
1. Traders currently doing business along A-Line, C-Line and Medical Line are to relocate from their shops on or before close of business on Saturday, 4th September, 2021 to enable the commencement of work the following day, Sunday, 5th September, 2021.
2. Those affected are to temporarily relocate to Ekumi Shopping plaza or other available shops within the market.
3. The developers have committed to completing the required work in the phase which includes establishment of proper drainage channels within the affected lines, construction of new shops and parks, before the first week of December 2021.
4. Abia state government will through subsequent press releases publish the names of existing shop allottees who are guaranteed of their return to the reconstructed shops after completion of the first phase. It is important to state that no existing shop allottee will lose his/her shop after the work.
5. Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is expected to personally hand back new allocation papers to all the existing allottees on Friday, 5th December, 2021.
6. Trading activities are expected to continue in other lines that are not affected by the first phase of the redevelopment project while the appointed developers, Messrs Blessed Henkel International Company, are expected to work with the market committee and security agents to ensure full security within the market during the period of redevelopment.
Government wishes to assure traders that it will work to ensure minimal disruptions to trading activities while executing this project which has now been made more urgent and crucial because of the recent flooding forecast from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency, NiMet.
We will also not in any way tolerate any attempt by any individual or group to disrupt the planned work as we have consulted widely enough and given enough grace period, long before now, for alternative solutions which never yielded any meaningful result.
Finally, we solicit the understanding and support of all Abians as we restate our commitment to delivering a modern market to our people.
Thank you.

it's not a lie bro. I was very surprised to see the story online here. In my school in port Harcourt a boy was hosting us about his boy boy days at the market and he told us this story like a month ago. The whole story is just complex and long. The government has tried to relocate the medicine line but various factions are fighting for power and they have tugs easily available.
haekymbahd: Is Jesus not God Almighty who gave the laws in the Torah in the first place..
Yeshua (Isa) is not Jesus, Jesus is a Greek god even the early christians the Nazarenes rejected Yeshua has God but as a messenger of God. It was Apostle Paul a repented persecutor of nazarenes that went to a non-isrealite location to convert people to the religion of the Roman God (Je- Zeus). Hence why Christians celebrate Christmas, Easter, take their holy day as Sunday instead of Sabbath.. e.t.c and other pagan, Ronan festivals
Jesus Christ does not exist but Yeshua Hamachiak [Prophet Isa] even Peter confirmed that Jesus was the prophet like Moses.
Acts 3
22 Thus Moses said to the forefathers, The Lord God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your brethren as [He raised up] me; Him you shall listen to and understand by hearing and heed in all things whatever He tells you.
23And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to and understand by hearing and heed that Prophet shall be utterly [e]exterminated from among the people.(
sometimes u people are confused cuz ur arguments are based on what some Millar that has never been into the four walls of a class room says after smoking hemp.
Ok u claim Paul messed up the gospel, this is a different argument from the ones Muslims have been claiming over the years. First it was the council of nicea removed books from the original bible, secondly it was that emperor Constantine did it.
U claim Paul changes the gospel and then u go ahead to quote acts of apostles. A book written by Luke the apostle, a companion of Paul, like his disciple. Isshhhhh. Other Muslims used to cliam the whole new testament is fake so I'm even surprised u used a book from new testament. Christians must make sure that Christianity is in no way associated to islam. Jesus is not isah; Allah is not the same God to avoid confusions. This is exactly why every Christian must strive

22jumpstreet: Which of the story is actually consistent? Mathew's Jesus is different from marks Jesus is different from. Luke's Jesus and is different from John's Jesus....and different from Paul's Jesus.
This is to tell you that they are not writting an actual event. Just forging things as they move on.
I can't fault Muhammad for inventing his own Jesus..
Who is to blame?
3 of them told stories about how they knew him. People can be different with one person and be another certain way with the other. One thing they have in common tho is the events: Jesus was crucified and woke up on the third day.
While isah was not crucified instead somebody that looked like him was put in his place and crucified. We know this is not true because from the Bible, when Jesus was arrested, 3 people who knew Jesus, his disciples and what they all looked like were able to identify Peter and they asked 'are you not with him?' which Peter denied.
But the narrative in the Quran differs to the Bible
But u know what? We shouldn't care
Both books are meant to be studied for history
The world has moved on
isah is not the same person as Jesus Christ. It's not about narrative. The narrative of John, Mathew, and Luke differ. Mohammed was talking completely about a different person as he was born 600 years later.
No.1 isah was a Muslim; Jesus Christ was Jewish. No.2 isah was considered to be a prophet; Jesus Christ was God. No.3 Jesus did not follow Sharia law. Like in this instances. Where he let a woman with a bad reputation for being a prostitute wash his feet with perfume and her hair. And in another scripture Jesus stopped a crowd from stoning a woman t Who was caught in the act of adultry to death by saying ' if any of you is without blame let him throw the first stone. In Islam women are rebuked when they reveal their hair to men that they are not married to. Under Islamic Sharia law, 'zina' which is sexual intercause between a man and a woman(prostitution) is purnished by 100 strokes of cane in public if both of them have never been married and by stoning the woman to death in the case we're she is married.
Now let's not even forget the repentant thief that Jesus promised paradise instead of the normal hand cutting that Sharia law suggests.

IronGalaxy: a lot of poverty stricken people have access to the internet Adewale
my friend by the name bathong zuma, lives close to kuvuki land, tells me internet is very expensive in sata afrika. Infact, as I recall when MTN removed the free twitter option it used to give to south Africans , there was a large decrease in the amount of active users flof twitter from sataflika but somehow you are here trying convince us that sataflikans have no problem with streaming content uninterrupted from the internet months and months long.
Mko abiola stadium back to life. I'm silently praying for Ghana to not be able to host the all Africa games so that they can move it to Abuja samw way Kenya failed to host chan.
They started changing the pitch same time with the other national stadium in Lagos, but the security at the Lagos stadium would not let anybody close to take pictures or videos, but the pitch should be something like this too.
I was opportuned to get 2 very clear videos of the Abuja stadiums new pitch as at yesterday. And today while, watching Europa League draws I was observing, from the playback clips they where showing, and comparing the pitches with what was put at the Abuja stadium. My conclusion: the abuja pitch is of same quality. Super eagles will love it there. The only thing now is for the tracks to be changed or those green or blue carpets used to cover it cuz it's looking old now. And secondly, electric advertising boards those things really bring out the beauty of a stadium especially at night. Do this, dust of the place and that stadium would be looking brand new. Wow I'm so happy. I don't if it's the same thing with The one at Lagos the secrecy is to much. Plus I remember they where plugging the grass there while at Abuja they sprayed the seeds. So I'm not sure it would be the same grass.
68816419: True, Eko Energy City developers are even more ambitious than these Azuri guys, the first phase of 20+ towers has been built while the second phase of Eko Energy city towers (35+ flrs) will soon commences, The entire development is spread over an area of [b]413,000 sq/m.[/b]The project involves the area to the north and includes an area of 118,000 sq/m.
what countries US embassy is this?? It makes me wonder if it is kind of what they I tend to build with the land the secured at eko Atlantic. So far the only information out there is that it would be a compound(something like this). What's confusing is that eko Atlantic is reserved who high rise buildings and who spends so much money to purchase land there to build something so small.
yes I'm really glad that eko development company will be done with the azuri towers by December. It took them so long. They can now head to developing something else in the city.
Everything at the grove concerning horizontal infrastructure such as underground water hydrant, clean water pipe, fibre optic cables, drainages and gas pipes etc are done.
U are about to start seeing the first buildings at Centenary city Abuja.
12large1: My friend shut up your dirty mouth. Which Nigerian winger is presently a finished product? When you have cerebral dribblers like ejuke and Chukwueze, you should utilize and maximize their talent to your benefit because players like that are special on their day. With the likes of chukwueze and ejuke, you don't really need a 10 just solidify your midfield with energetic players and playmake from the wing
who is this idiot. Watch ur tone on this thread ok.
Oyinlomobambam: The first time I will be seeing this beautiful Bush rabbit was about 25years ago while still in secondary school... Since then, I don't even believe they still exists in the Bush.
I visit the farm this week for the first time this year and this beautiful creature came visit
The rest is story��
Thank God for this delicious gift
lala I know this is not your favourite snake but you won't regret tasting it.
hey did u skin the rabbit before u grilled it ?
It looks like u prepared it like the way they prepare goat. You just killed it and put in on the fire without removing the fur is that right ?
Caramia2020: It's ur choice, cream n oil 15k? Hmmm, how much will u give for her feeding? U are a sower.
I de tell u bro that time I no wise my papa just go carry mumu put for him business say make him the take care of am. Plus I didn't want to upset her cuz she was my first girlfriend and she was damn hot.
Now ehh I usually rush to ask the girls to come and visit me before they get the chance to even ask for something.
If that shit happens bro, just forget any fairy tale dreams you have of being with that girl. Forget the girl and move on cuz even if u start giving her money and stuff, that's not the impression you want to give or the kind of relationship you want. Story of my first time trying to control a hot girl(then I wasn't very wise and the girl knew it cu she had been on the streets for a long time): When I was still naive and fresh out of secondary school(mission school), my first encounter with women of the world, I met this girl that was my size very beautiful, and way out of my league. Through a friend's help I was able to get the girls digits and I started talking to her. We met up and even talked further. I could feel that this girl was not feeling me(she felt that I was a small boy) but I went on with it.
I den asked her to be my girlfriend and she immediately accepted to my surprise. She then immediately told me that she was sad and I asked her why. She told me that her cream and oil had just finished and her body was scratching her. She managed to work out 15k from me for the cream and oil etc. From there she started working me even more and I couldn't even touch her. She kept on promising that I would get to Bleep her but always dissapointing when the day came. Finally I got tired of the scam. Up till today e de pain me say I no collect that girl.
The recent violence that occured in jos, the capital of plateau state, last week saw a rather unusual relationship between members of an igbo community and the Hausa travellers that where attacked. Some Igbo people apperently gave abode to some of the Hausa travellers who were caught up in the violence and hide them, provided them with food and beacuse of the curfew also gave them shelter for a couple of days before they helped transport them to the central mosque in the capital jos.
The local hausa- Fulani communities have been singing praises of this Igbo family/community and the kindness they showed.
I don't know what u make of this, I just thought I should share some light in a week that has been so dark.
ismodiwa: Innocent people were killed and this all you can say! We agree the Muslims are out for revenge, and as long as the life of Muslims are threatened, we will make plateau inhabitable for everyone..
we the here. It's time u people leave plateau state.
