We're going to have a law in Anambra, that any government official(Retired/Serving) that gives approval where he/she is not supposed to, will be prosecuted and jailed- Prof Chukwuma Soludo (Governor of Anambra State)
Speaking about illegal structures erected in Onitsha main market, Governor Soludo stated Some but not all illegal structures will be demolished soon. He stated that he has sent a team to survey the market and mark out some buildings for demolition.
Soludo reiterated that he is keen on restoring Main Market to its lost glory and that from now to the end of the year, Main market will be remodernized and regenrated.
The Governor sympathised with traders that have shops in the illegal structures that will be demolished. He noted that it is not their fault to have shops there, but the fault of the people who built the illegal structures and also some government officials who connived with them to permit them to build it, hence the noted that;
"We are going to have a law in Anambra and that law will come out very soon, if you give approval with your name and handwriting where you are not supposed to approve, even if you retire 10years after, we will bring you, prosecute you and jail you"
The Governor maintained that law and order must be restored in Anambra for the sake of posterity.
