In recent times, the world economy has developed tremendously and this is partly linked with activities of petty traders who are part of the informal sector, especially in developing countries. Sadly, increasing taxation by the government at all levels in Nigeria, has continued to affect these traders, often leading to their decline. CHIJIOKE ARINZE visited one of such market in Enugu State and presents this report.
It is 11 am, exactly three hours after the bustling Ogbete market in the heart of Enugu city opened for the day. The ear-piercing sounds of whirring commercial vehicles and Pedicabs (Keke Napep) to the crescendo of voices from dealers in second-hand clothing. Owners of shops haggle with customers. Shoppers are exchanging pleasantries. The market is full of life.
The people of Ovoko Community, in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State have come hard on a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Patrick Asadu over the rumoured attack on former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu in the area.
There were reports, (not by DAILY POST) that Ekweremadu was chased away during the kick-off of the finals of a football tournament in the community.
Asadu, who is representing Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South in the Green Chamber, is from Ovoko Community.
In a press statement made available to DAILY POST, the community, under the aegis of Ovoko Football Association, knocked the Reps member for allegedly sending thugs to disrupt their event.
