Rumuwoji temporary market traders are bemoaning the loss of goods worth millions of naira

   Following the demolition of the Rumuwoji temporary market in Port Harcourt, traders are bemoaning the loss of goods worth millions of naira.

   Eddy Bright, President-General, Rivers State Traders Union, told newsmen in Port Harcourt today that the demolition came unannounced, as a result, traders were unable to remove their wares.

  He also called on the state government to set up a joint committee to ascertain the losses incurred by the traders and urged the traders to remain calm and await the outcome of the union’s meeting with the state government.

   Rize FM recalls that the state government demolished the structure being temporarily occupied by the traders last Friday.

  Reports say some traders were allocated spaces at the temporary market because there were not enough stalls at the completed phase of the Mile One Market in Port Harcourt.
