While lamenting how overzealous government agencies and lack of good roads are limiting importers efforts, the immediate past Chairman, Uchena Nnadozie, urged fellow importers to extend their support to the new executives.
One of the founding fathers of the market, Chief Christopher Ajokorom, described October 5 as a memorable day in Alaba International. “It was the day 13 of us built this market without support from the federal or state government. This year makes Alaba International market 40 years and only five of us who founded the market are alive”.
