MAZI EJIMOFOR OPARA
As Ogbo ogwu market reopens today, it is one of excitement on one hand and a call for deeper reflections on the other. Let me clearly state that this is the shortest time in known history that Ogbo ogwu has experienced such closure, and I can boldly tell you that everyday of less than 30 days that market was closed, Governor Soludo was on a constant interaction with the Regulators providing every logistic support to ensure a smooth and timely operation.
In the longer term, the new drug market in Oba, Idemili South, that will become a coordinated wholesale centre for everything drugs is undergoing intensified work speed, as this would serve as a lasting solution to the current chaotic open drug market in Bridge head, Onitsha.
It is exciting to see such level of informed intervention from a State Government determined to rewrite the narrative. As we celebrate this moment, let’s also take a moment to reiterate Soludo’s message to all the stakeholders involved in the drug production and distribution value chain; for every infraction you commit or permit in the drug market, there is a life or lives that pay dearly unto death. It could be you, it could be me, it could be someone by your side. Nothing is more important than to save lives.
