Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has announced the sack of caretaker committees of 30 markets in the State appointed by his predecessor, Chief Willie Obiano in the twilight of his reign.
The Eastern Updates gathered that Soludo would shortly afterwards constitute new ones to replace two other market leaderships which came into office with flawed elections.
A statement in that respect at the weekend by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Dr Obinna Ngonadi which was obtained by The Eastern Updates read in part;
‘In line with Mr Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision and directives, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has rolled out policies to reform and modernize markets and make shopping pleasurable so that Anambra State will regain its place as the number one place in trade and commerce.
