Hello fellow steemians and members of this prestigious community how are you doing today? I hope all is well!? I am here to share with you the event of yesterday at Akwa Ibom State Plaza. The metropolitan area of the city. A place that was built for leisure and recreation years ago.
The Uyo Capital City Development Authority commences City Wide Clean up and Clearance exercise of illegal trading spots, markets, shanties and unauthorized buildings after months of warnings and sensitization.
The state government never had in mind to build the plaza for business purposes. I have seen the Park when it was empty new and beautiful. However, talking to you right now people have turned the place to a market place. They built kiosk and other kind of market stalls just to sell and provide services of all kind.
This has led to dirty environment because there's no proper care and maintenance. Secondly that place wasn't built for any business purpose. The state of the place now is an epitome of chaos.
Recently the state government took a drastic measures to make sure the Plaza goes back to what it was built for. However this decision has affected a lot of businesses. Those who hawk or sell in their kiosk and other stall have been in panic.
They're devastated and hopeless of where to take their business to after the demolition. I wonder the state government want those people involved in the circumstances to cope with their businesses.
I hope that the state government will provide an alternative for those street traders. It won't be easy with them if nothing is being done.
I like to invite my friends to participate in this contest:
