The National Association of Nigerian Traders (NANTS), will close all markets and shopping plazas in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Thursday in honour of the victims of the June 25 EMAB Plaza blast.
The President of NANTS, Mr Ken. Ukaoha made this to newsmen yesterday in Abuja. He said that markets and plazas would be closed until 12 noon tomorrow.
“It is very worrisome that the bombing of markets and plazas and commercial places is gradually becoming the order of the day in the country to the point that people are now scared of going to markets,” he said.
He added that the association plans to direct its FCT division to coordinate a solidarity programme that would assist in the treatment and rehabilitation of the affected victims.
