MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA
Offcourse the central Igbo rendition of this title would read “Orie-toro” which literally means a market space for affordable commodities. The term “toro” is often used alongside “afu” as expressions to show affordability.
Beyond this, the new fruits and vegetables market situated in Oye toro Agulu signifies a return to order, as roadside traders occupying the Nwagu junction have now been relocated to a free and well built space where they can trade decently without any threat of being rammed into by errant drivers.
