By Amaka Isikala


The Anambra State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to market reforms aimed at improving safety and orderliness, as the Commissioner for Commerce, Mr. Nomso Chukwuma Ebonwu, met with traders and officials of Ogbaru Local Government Area.


The meeting held on today, June 2 at Jerome Udoji Secretariat Complex, Awka, brought together the Commissioner, the Mayor of Ogbaru LGA, Sir Kenneth Akwuobi, Chairman of Ogbaru Electronics Traders Association, Mr. Azubuike Nwafor, and members of the association’s executive.


Discussions focused on the current condition of Ogbaru Electronics Market and steps needed to sanitise trading activities.


The traders’ delegation appealed to the state government to intensify enforcement and ensure that street traders relocate to officially designated spaces. They argued that clearing roadways and walkways would reduce accidents, ease congestion, and create a more conducive business environment for both traders and customers.


Responding, Commissioner Ebonwu assured the delegation that the Ministry of Commerce would enforce the governor’s directives on market sanitation and compliance. He said government policies are geared toward promoting orderly trading, protecting lives and property, and building sustainable markets across Anambra.


“The Soludo administration is committed to reforms that will make our markets safer, cleaner, and more profitable for traders. We will work with you to restore normalcy and ensure everyone operates within approved trading spaces,” commissioner said.


The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Engr Michael Obiekwe, added that plans are underway to upgrade market infrastructure and strengthen management systems to support trader productivity and growth.


Commending the government, Mr. Nwafor thanked the commissioner for the audience and lauded Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to improve market conditions statewide.


The meeting highlighted ongoing collaboration between government and market stakeholders to drive reforms that enhance safety, organisation, and economic growth in Anambra’s trading hubs.
