Comrade Obichukwu, who stated this in a chat with The Unique Model magazine in Lagos recently said, “I am looking at my president and what he has in stock, it’s work, work and Ndigbo Amaka Progressive Markets Association is not a child’s stuff, we are in for business, it’s an association that comprises all markets in Lagos; majorly, talk of Alaba, Ladipo, Trade Fair, Lagos Island, Mandalas, Lawanson and others. So it is a very broad association.
“And the main reason the association is formed is to ensure that we protect the interest of the trading community in Lagos. Among our members and ensure that there is a formidable relationship between traders and government at the state and Federal level. And the new government of Comrade Chinedu Ukatu has so much in stock as it relates to this. My duty as the P.R.O is to ensure that I communicate to everyone in authority as I am being mandated. On the process to ensure that at the end of the day, that trading community is placed at the right place it should be.
“Even before now, we were seen as informal sector, but I think that the narratives are going to be changed any moment from now because we are the major contributors to the economy. You cannot speak about the economy in this country without talking about business men and women. So, that narrative of informal sector has to be deleted, as quickly as possible especially by this leadership, because he has the capacity.
“He has been tested and trusted, he was our secretary general, and he performed credibly well. I think at this point he has taken the mantle of leadership; a lot of innovations will be in place which he has started, we are about having our inaugural excos meeting. I want to believe that after the inauguration, we shall see more of his performance.”
