N6bn Onitsha Shoprite Mall Inaugurated In Anambra


Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra on Thursday called on investors to key into the friendly business environment created by his administration and invest in the state. Obiano made the call while inaugurating a shopping mall (Shoprite) in Onitsha, valued at N6 billion.

NAN reports that the project which started in 2013 is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the State Government and African Capital Alliance.

The governor, who urged residents of the state to patronise the mall, disclosed that a special security arrangement had been put in place to ensure 24-hour security. He also said that construction work from some areas near Onitsha, leading to the mall had commenced to ease traffic at the mall.

The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, said that although the project was embarked upon by the immediate past administration, the present administration had spent more than 60 per cent of the total cost.
