ACTDA To Intensify Onslaught Against Street Traders Friday This Week… 

Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, has given those selling or displaying goods and wares along the roads in Awka to desist forthwith or face the full wrath of the law.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, Mr. Ossy Onuko who issued the order while speaking to newsmen in Awka noted that the authority has regrettably observed the resurface of street traders, especially along the new roads constructed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo within Awka metropolis.

Mr. Onuko explained that the Authority, has for the past one year continued an onslaught against the street traders who are causing obstructions and gridlock within the city, even as he maintained that the activities of the outlaws have defaced the aesthetics of the new roads built by the state government.

He mentioned the roads where the activities of the street traders have increased in recent times to include the dual carriage UNIZIK-Isuaniocha road, Club Road, Regina Caeli Road, Old INEC Road, Government House Road, Aroma, Ifite road among others.

According to Mr. Onuko, from this Friday Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, officials will commence massive destruction of goods and wares which were found to be displayed along the road, and advised those who engage in the illegal act to stop immediately as the authority will not only seize, but will equally destroy such goods to serve as a deterrent to others.
