Governor Chukwuma Soludo has commissioned the modern Solution market and bus terminal in Ekwulọbịa, Aguata Local Government Area, Anambra State.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
the facility which features large open space for those who will shop, solar power, canteen, water supply, among others, will house traders and commuters currently doing business around the newly constructed Ekwulọbịa flyover, who will be displaced.
According to Soludo, providing the alternative as well as all his administration’s policies, are part of the APGA mantra of “leave no one behind”, concentrated on the poor and forgotten segments of the society, to give the people minimum pleasure.
While stating that the property belongs to the state government in partnership with the local government for effective and efficient management, he explained that those that will occupy the facilities have been provided and that they will get the shops free of cost.
In their separate remark, the Commissioner for Transportation, Bar. Patricia Igwebuike, Special Adviser to the Governor on Markets, Chief Evarist Ubah,
Mayor of Aguata, Dr. Chibueze Offorbike, President General of Ekwulọbịa Town Union Mr. Azubuike and Chief Joseph Ezeokafor, described the bus terminal as a legacy project, that will solve the congestion issue.
They maintained that Ekwulọbịa is now fully urbanized with the presence of the facility, and thanked Soludo for the initiative which has transformed the place that used to be a bush.
