The Chairman of Ariaria International Market, Sir Hyacinth Nnabude, and former president, Mr. Chikadibia Ozoekwe, expressed the traders’ support for the project and gratitude to Governor Otti for his swift intervention to prevent the market’s collapse. They commended the efforts of Check Best International Limited’s MD/CEO in driving the initiative forward.
