Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has embarked on an inspection tour of the Onitsha Main Market to assess the ongoing remodeling and infrastructural upgrade projects.
During the visit, the Governor interacted directly with the traders to evaluate the pace and quality of the construction work.
The traders gave a collective affirmative response, confirming that the renovation activities are progressing steadily and meeting expectations as the December 2026 shopping season approaches.
The comprehensive overhaul aims to modernize the commercial hub, improve sanitation, enhance security, and restore structural order to the West African trading center.
However, as part of the broader strategic vision for the market, Governor Soludo made it clear that the state government will enforce strict regulations once the project is completed.
According to the Governor, specifically, the administration intends to clear out street traders and unauthorized street trading activities from the corridors and surrounding areas of the newly upgraded facility to ensure a seamless flow of traffic and a globally competitive standard of commerce.
