The traditional ruler of Nawfia, Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, has advised traders at the Afor Nawfia Market to adhere to government’s directives of putting on the face mask to help check the spread of COVID-19 or risk the closure of the market.

Igwe Nwankwo was reacting to the threat by the National Orientation Agency to shut down the market following its findings that 90 per cent of the traders at the market do not put on their face masks.
The royal father urged them to comply with all WHO’s guidelines including keeping social distancing and use of hand sanitizer in the market.
He frowned at the situation which, he observed, does not portray positive image of the community.
Igwe Nwankwo further used the forum to encourage unemployed youths to key into the National Orientation Agency’s information for youths to key into federal government N-Power Scheme by applying online, adding that school leavers with School certificates are eligible to apply.
