Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks.

Anambra State Government Installs barricades at Awka Main Market

By Chinelo Ajulufo

The Anambra State Government through the office of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) has commenced the installation of wire mesh barricades at Awka Main Market.

Addressing the news men, the ACTDA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ossy Onuko said that the installation of the barricades have become necessary due to the constant disturbing gridlocks on the axis and also for beautification.

He further said that the wire mesh is installed to put a check on the series of dangers faced by pedestrians and traders who are forced to inch closer to the road and become exposed to vehicular accident.

"I am optimistic that these barricades will provide a lasting solution to the gridlocks that have constantly bedeviled this market over time.

Mr Onuko reiterated his commitment toward ensuring that Awka Capital Territory attains the level of a befitting Capital, calling on Ndi Anambra to come out en- masse on March 18 to cast their votes for the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) candidates in order to enjoy a hitch free development in the state.

Mr Christian Nweke, a trader at the market, commended the action of Mr Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo in safeguarding the lives and property of the traders, adding that this is a step in the right direction.
