The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, conducted an inspection of the Onitsha Main Market to evaluate the ongoing renovations and infrastructure improvements aimed at modernising the market, enhancing sanitation, boosting security, and restoring order.
During his visit on August 7, the Governor engaged directly with traders to assess the progress and quality of the work. Traders reported that renovations are advancing steadily and are on track to meet expectations ahead of the December 2026 shopping season.
Governor Soludo emphasised that, upon project completion, the state government will implement strict regulations. He reiterated the administration’s intention to remove street traders and illegal street trading from the market’s corridors and surrounding areas to facilitate smooth traffic flow and uphold a competitive standard of commerce.
