Street trading menace: Anambra assembly urges building of mini markets

Anambra Assembly
The Anambra State House of Assembly has called for construction of affordable mini shops and markets within the Awka metropolis to curb the menace of street trading.

This is contained in a motion moved under Matters of Urgent Public Importance, by Mr Henry Mbachu, member representing Awka South Constituency I at plenary on Wednesday.

Mbachu while making his submission, lamented that the only existing market in the Awka capital territory could not serve the needs of residents and it was far from residential areas.

He said people also resorted to building roadsides shades to trade because they could not afford the high rent for the lock up shops.

“The rising rate of poverty in Nigeria is very alarming,  thereby,  plugging millions of people into extreme poverty.

“It is nearly impossible to secure a shop within the already established market and the prices of  limited shops available are exorbitant.

“The residents of Awka metropolis due to  hardship, resorted to road side trading to make ends meet, thereby,  distorting the aesthetics of the capital city.

“This was why the relevant authority applied measures to stop the menace of street trading while the outcome was unpleasant.

“I am convinced that the creation of mini-markets and shops within Awka metropolis will solve the menace of shanties and serve as a means of encouraging micro businesses,” he said.

Supporting the motion, Mr Emma Nwafor, member representing Orumba South Constituency, said many petty traders were stranded following the demolition of  roadside shanties.

“If we can have affordable mini markets, these traders will be registered and government can also generate revenues,” he said.

Contributing, Mr Golden Iloh,  representing Ihiala state constituency ll, said most petty traders were trading with less than N50,000 and could not afford to rent a shop for N250.

He said the construction of affordable mini markets would assist the small business sector, reduce traffic gridlock and accidents on the roads.

The Speaker of the House, Dr Somtochukwu Udeze, while reading the resolution,  urged corporate organisations to support government to establish the mini markets.

“The assembly urges  Gov. Chukwuma Soludo  to direct the Special Adviser for Trade and Market and the Managing Director, Awka Capital Development Authority to begin construction of affordable mini markets to control menace of street trading and associated effects on the state capital.”

  5. Thanks for the suggestions you write about through this web site. In addition, lots of young women who seem to become pregnant usually do not even aim to get health insurance because they dread they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states currently require that insurers offer coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions. Prices on all these guaranteed options are usually higher, but when thinking about the high cost of medical care bills it may be the safer strategy to use to protect your financial potential.

  16. One thing I would like to say is that before purchasing more computer system memory, have a look at the machine directly into which it would be installed. When the machine is usually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory threshold is 3.25GB. The installation of a lot more than this would basically constitute a waste. Be sure that one’s motherboard can handle the upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.

  21. I have taken note that of all sorts of insurance, health care insurance is the most questionable because of the struggle between the insurance policies company’s need to remain profitable and the client’s need to have insurance plan.
