Worried by the lockdown, due to the ongoing
stay-at-home order, traders in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said
that they have concluded plans to introduce mobile market, which would
deliver goods and services to the door steps of customers.
Chairman of Garki Market Traders
Association, Mr Sunday Chukwu, who disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja
yesterday, explained that the concept would assist consumers and traders
to have access to the needed products and services during the lock down
period.
Chukwu explained further that the idea was
born out of the passion FCT traders have for its consumers, adding that
the exercise would be carried out in conjunction with the Abuja Markets
Management Limited (AMML).
“We have also agreed that we are going to
sacrifice and assist the government in providing goods and services
during this period in line with FCT government COVID 19 guidelines.”
He added that mobile market concept has
been worked out in such a way that traders would give out their contacts
to prospective costumers so that whatever they need on daily basis
would be packaged and delivered on their door steps, while payment would
be made on delivery.
“It cuts across all goods in the open
market, be it provisions, food stuff, even cosmetic and other goods in
the open market will delivered. The essence of this is to reduce the
number of people that are coming to the market during this period.”
