The Northern Community in Anambra state has appealed to the state government for allocation of land for establishment of a cattle market in Awka Anambra state capital.
This comes as the Community salutes the state government for the fight against insecurity in the state.
Similarly the leader of the cattle market is currently working with the state government through the Chief Of Staff to the governor for the establishment of an abatore at Amansea in Awka North local government area.
According to the Chairman of the Northern Traditional Council Alhaji Garba Haruna Mohamed at his Salah massage the cattle market would also improve the revenue base of the state noting that going to Ugwuoba in Enugu state.
He posited that should they relocate to neighboring town in another state the state would have lost billions of naira at the end of the day.
‘The Chairman of the kattle market is liasing with the state government and Chief Of Staff to put the abattoir in order and they are working hard to actualize it and we have confidence in the Soludo administration to ensure that it is completed”
“It is left with the Chairman of the cattle market to bring up his needs for government to take it from there”
“Government should put interest in our business and we are generating revenue for the government but what we need is land to do business because what we already have is a rented land owned by Amansea town and it is not a permanent property for us so we need land for cattle market”
*Amansea people are selling the land because it doesn’t belong to us ” he said.
Speaking on the Ramadan celebration he explained that ;
“Fasting is one of the four pillars of Ramadan and that is why any mature person in Islam must do fasting and that is the promise we made to Allah and Mohamed as his masenger ”
“We pray five times daily and in this Ramadan after Ramadan there is zakat that means giving out gift to people the third one is mecca ”
“Every Ramadan we fast for twenty nine days and today is the twenty nineth day of fasting”
“And the moon was sighted yesterday to show that Ramadan how s started ”
“The host Community received us with their two hands and when there is any issue or matter they call us for meeting and we discuss it and resolve the problems naturedly”
“Like I told you before I do not believe in the name non Indigenes and since it is one NIgeria we are one and we live in unity so the issue of non indigenes do not arrise at all”
“The issue of insecurity is not only in Anambra state alone but all parts of Nigeria”
“For us in Anambra state we do not have much problems of insecurity but for once in a while kidnapping and armed robbery but since Gov Charles Soludo launched the Agunechemba Security Squad peace and security have been restored in Anambra state ”
“My only advise is that the Agunechemba or Udo Ga Chi Security Operations shout work as a joint security operatives which includes all the security operatives in the state and that is the only way to sustain security in the state but so far Gov Charles Soludo is on the top of the game ” he said
