The Caretaker Chairman New Auto Spare parts International market Nkpor, Chief Stephen Obiora Oforleh has commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State for finally commencing the installation of Solar powered CCTV security Cameras in the markets in collaboration with House of Assembly and the Anambra State Markets Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA).
The market has also called on
traders to sponsor and participate in the annual charity/give-away program for
the less privileged tagged Good Samaritan Day(GSD).
Speaking to newsmen in his
office at Nkpor, Idemili North LGA, Chief Oforleh popularly called (Award) by
his admirers explained that the installation encountered some hiccups initially
because of some people who were upset on the reason why New parts market should
be the first market to benefit from the CCTV Camera Installation adding that
work has finally commenced.
"The contractors have
started mounting the CCTV Camera poles which they are test running to be sure
it can carry the panels and batteries despite the wind current in the vicinity
and before the week runs out they would have gone a long way in the
installations.
"I must thank the solution
Governor for this initiative to fight insecurity, fire incidents and other
forms of criminalities in Anambra State because it would improve security of
both the markets, plazas across the flyover around this environment.
"Soludo has achieved in
two years what some of his predecessors did not achieve in 8 years.He has built
5 General hospitals mostly at Anambra North Senatorial zone which is not where
he came from because he saw the need at those places. He has built many roads
including one road he constructed at Umunya where I live during rainy season.
"Soludo fulfilled his
promise to conduct Local Government elections. He is digitalizing security and
very soon insecurity will be a thing of the past. The House of Assembly has
passed a bill mandating all markets and plazas to install CCTV security
Cameras. infect we are mobilizing the whole market traders to ensure he
completes his 8 years in office come 2025 elections so as to perfect his
promise to make Anambra a smart city, and Dubai/Taiwan of Africa.
"Concerning the Good
Samaritan Day, It is a yearly thing spearheaded by the Prayer committee which
is a subsidiary of the Market Leadership but this year's GSD shall be different
because we understand the importance and benefits of helping the less
privileged.
"Good Samaritan Day is a
day we invite the less privileged from the midst of traders or people will know
in the market doing menial jobs and struggling to make a living. Also,
outsiders like orphanages, the disabled, widows, some categories of people who
needs support to make ends meet are invited, and we give them cash and food
items as palliatives to cushion the hunger prevalent in the country.
"I urge every trader in
Nkpor New parts market to donate funds willingly for the program so that more
people will be beneficiaries from this year's Good Samaritan Day coming up
around first week of December.
"When we came into office
February 2024 because of our love for prayers and the things of God we raised
over 400,000 naira to support the prayer team which we later saw that it was
utilized judiciously.
"The weekly prayers gives
us opportunity to argument with Sunday worship and I usually mandate all my
Executives to participate because just as a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian,
a prayerful leader is a powerful leader," Oforleh said.
According to the Prayer
committee Leader, Bro Innocent Nwafor, flanked by Bro Godwin Oriaku a former
leader, no amount or donation you spend to help the less privileged which will
not be rewarded by God. Helping the poor is contributing to build the kingdom
of God and it will return back to you in manifold blessings.
"The fundraising and
donation will commence generally from Thursday this week while the Good
Samaritan Day comes up on December 5, 2024," said Nwafor.
