 Weeks after the tragic fire incident that occurred at the Punga market in which goods worth millions of narrow were destroyed and a section of the equipped reach damaged, no serious work has begun as the traders are concerned about the slow pace of repairs which they say has cost low patronage. Our correspondent was there on our report. There is no evidence of work going on top of the bridge as the traffic jam still persists but skeletal work stream ongoing under the bridge as some men were seen digging around the edge of the pillar. They claim that they have been working since last week Wednesday and that they are from the ministry of works. Some of the traders affected by the inferno who sometimes hang around to display their scanty wares are no longer under the bridge while those in their shops lament low sales. The market is not the same thing. Number one, when people cannot apply this place, easy access to get to us, it reduce people that come to Lagos. You understand? Number two, you know this market is no person cannot sell this cake line, this sour line. You can't have everything. Those people that they are shop god ponds, we work, you know, is like interwoven. One person, about 20, 30 people is attached to that one person. We sell they sell. If somebody comes here and say, give me this, give me this, the ones who don't have you call your neighbour, they will join together to sell. So it makes the market to go down, especially the traffic is giving a day. Business has not been the same since then because a lot of traffic on the way. So people now think about the traffic is to make them not to come but however we are trying our best but really it has not been the same. It takes a lot of time coming to this place. So it has affected the business. The economy has, so maybe economy is another thing, what they meant in them because of this fire everywhere scattered. People are not coming as they used to come. The pattern is slow. As you know, you know Kiarimaket is a wholesale outlet. We have our customers cut across the country. And then now Wakwa says the situation is worse because of Ramadan. Ramadan affects myself too. Even the Christian fasting, we just came out of it. It has never been the same. The economy too is not helping matters. Things are going up day after day. As the repair work gradually begins, the traders are hopeful that the repair will be completed soon. Poor George plus Tiffany. Get notified about fresh news updates.
