Abia State Government has vowed to commence enforcement of the ban on street trading especially in the commercial city of Aba with effect from 2024
Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, who announced this during a press briefing after the State Executive Council meeting in Umuahia, decried the impacts of street traders, who, he lamented, had taken over many of the renovated roads in Aba.
He regretted that every appeal to the street traders to relocate to various markets in the city had fallen on deaf ears, but warned that the Government would no longer sit back to watch the menace continue unchecked.
“With all the efforts Government has made, this menace (street trading) keeps rearing its ugly head, particularly in Aba. Incidentally, most of the new roads that the government has constructed, people use them to trade, and this will not augur well for these new roads.
