Ogbunike, Anambra State – The Chairman of the Plywood Market in the Building Material Dealers Association, High Chief Chidi Mbagwu, popularly known as Ukpaka, has publicly expressed heartfelt appreciation to Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for his ongoing efforts in transforming Anambra State.
This was contained in a release made available to Newsmen in Awka by Karen James.
Speaking on behalf of the plywood market section, High Chief Mbagwu praised the governor’s bold developmental strides and his commitment to the welfare of Ndi Anambra and market leaders across the state.
“We want to use this opportunity to sincerely thank Mr. Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, for the good works he is doing for Ndi Anambra. Your leadership is felt not only in Awka but also in the markets and rural areas,” he stated.
However, the plywood market leader also used the moment to draw attention to the deplorable state of the access road leading to their section of the market. He emphasized that lack of a motorable road has significantly affected patronage and business activities.
“Our customers are finding it difficult to access us due to the bad road. The Plywood Market section has no road. We are pleading with His Excellency to come to our aid. We know that with you in charge, our markets and our state will rise again,” Ukpaka added.
He concluded by reaffirming the association’s continued support for Governor Soludo and called for urgent intervention to boost economic activity in the market through improved infrastructure.
