A meeting was held between the governor, Nnobi traditional ruler Igwe Nick Obi, and stakeholders at the Light House in Awka to discuss the relocation of affected individuals and the construction of accommodation. The demolition aimed to create a five-lane junction, eliminating the congestion that plagued the junction, particularly during the festive seasons. Soludo emphasized that the interests of Anambra and Nnobi people were the top priority, guaranteeing that those affected would not be left behind. Community leader, Chief Sir Alloy Olubialu, expressed the desire to relocate Afor Nnobi market to a new site and seek compensation for those affected by the demolition. The President General of Nnobi Town Union thanked the traditional ruler and the President General for their cooperation, which he believed fostered harmony and peace in the town.
