The Abia State government has said it is dismayed by illegal trading and other business activities going on in some unapproved parts of Umuahia, for many years.
The areas according to the State government, include the busy Isi gate area, Uzuakoli road and Corporative junction.
To this end, the Umuahia Capital Development Authority (UCDA) has directed all illegal occupants of the areas to relocate to government-approved markets to do their business.
