Abia State Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, has reiterated the commitment of the state government to check flooding and complete the ongoing remodeling of the Ariaria International market, Aba.

He directed the leadership of the market and security agents to supervise the relocation exercise to avoid further damage to goods and possible risk of collapse of some structures in the affected zones.

His words; “The state government has no tool at the moment to prevent torrential rains from falling in any part of the state, including Ariaria International Market area; we have consistently taken measures to ensure that traders do not suffer unduly as a result of the forecast floods ravaging both the country and the entire world.

“The developer has commenced execution of the newly proposed culvert, we urge that they ensure completion within the 2-weeks given for the work to be done as well as explore the opening of other channels that can help evacuate storm water out of the market after every rainfall.
