All mechanics and auto spare parts dealers operating along school/Clifford Road, Hospital Road, Jubilee Road, and Azikiwe Road in Aba North, Aba South and Obingwa LGAs of Abia State have been ordered to relocate to

Ovom Industrial Mechanic Cluster, Ogbor Hill.

The directive, which was issued by the Commissioner for Industry and SME, Mike Akpara, said the relocation should be complete on or before 15th October 2025.

He told the dealers to comply accordingly as enforcement will commence after October 15, 2025.

The Commissioner said that the one year grace period the State government earlier granted the traders to relocate had elapsed since May, 2025.

He explained that the directive aims to decongest Aba metropolis and ensure a safer, organized, and business-friendly environment for all.

“Dealers are strongly advised to comply before the deadline, as enforcement will commence thereafter”, said Akpara.
