The Managing Director of Powell Homes and Shelters Ltd, Architect Chibuikem Onyekachi Emmanuel, says Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s relocation of Coal Camp Spare Parts Market to a purpose-built international market is a bold and visionary step toward economic transformation in Enugu State. He described the initiative as a strategic move that would enhance trade, improve infrastructure, and create a more organized business environment for traders.

Speaking with newsmen in Enugu on Monday , Architect Emmanuel noted that the decision to relocate the traders to a modern market, fully equipped with essential amenities, aligns with global best practices in urban planning and commercial development.

According to him, “Governor Mbah has demonstrated exceptional leadership by ensuring that traders operate in a safe, structured, and well-planned environment. This is a major achievement in the drive to position Enugu as a thriving economic hub, as the move has been long overdue.”

He commended the governor for keeping his campaign promises, emphasizing that previous administrations had made similar commitments without fulfilling them. “For decades, these traders have been promised relocation to a world-class facility, but nothing was done. Governor Mbah’s decision to deliver on this promise within two years in office speaks volumes about his dedication to genuine development.”

Highlighting the economic impact of the new international market, the Powell Homes and Shelters MD pointed out that the location along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway strategically positions the market as a major commercial gateway.

“This market is designed not just for Enugu traders but as a central hub that will attract businesses from across Nigeria and beyond. It is a game-changer that will boost trade, investment, industrialization, and urbanization.”

Architect Emmanuel also praised the governor for incorporating residential areas within the market’s master plan, ensuring that traders do not have to commute long distances to their businesses.

“The integration of living spaces, schools, healthcare facilities, security posts, and recreational centers is commendable. It fosters a self-sufficient business community where traders can work and live in comfort. We, as a company, also have land that is over a thousand plots, which we are selling just close to the market. This was only possible for us to acquire because the governor designed the market to be like that. Our estate near the market offers everything that a modern estate should have.”

He acknowledged the significant improvement in infrastructure under Governor Mbah’s administration, particularly in the opening of access roads, provision of water, power supply, and the establishment of essential services such as fire stations and clinics.

“This initiative reflects a clear vision for sustainable development. It is not just about relocation; it is about creating an enabling environment where businesses can thrive.”

Architect Emmanuel urged traders and stakeholders to embrace the relocation and support the government’s efforts in making Enugu a model of modern commerce.

“With this kind of infrastructure, the possibilities are limitless. This is an opportunity for traders to own their shops, build wealth, and contribute to the state’s economic growth. Governor Mbah has set a new standard, and we must all key into this vision.”

Powell Homes and Shelters Ltd reaffirmed its commitment to supporting infrastructural projects that drive economic growth and enhance urban development while also expressing optimism that the relocation of Coal Camp traders to the international market would mark the beginning of a new era of prosperity for Enugu’s commercial sector.
