He hinted that such acts are illegal and warned those involved to desist from it or be ready to face sanctions from the government.

The commissioner expressed satisfaction over the cooperation exhibited so far by the market executive toward the Gov. Chukwuma Soludo led administration.

He urged them to continue to maintain a clean and healthy environment in the market pointing that the Soludo’s administration has promised Ndi Anambra a livable, green mega city and the only way to achieve such is by the corporation of the traders and Ndi Anambra in general.

Ngonadi advised the market executive to pull down all the illegal structures built in the market.

In his reaction, the President, Nnewi Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Jude Osumuo commended the Gov. Soludo’s administration for its efforts in seeing that things were normal in the markets.
