The decision to relocate Computer Village has sparked concerns among traders about the potential impact on their daily revenue sales once the move is finalised.
The Punch reports quoted Emmanuel Osho, the managing partner of Bodds IT Solutions, as saying that a lot of traders were not happy
He noted:
“Moving the market means we would be farther from central Lagos, meaning a lot of people would have to spend a lot of time to get to their workplaces. Also, people would have to think twice before they plan to come to do business with us."
Another trader known as Bolaji Amos also expressed concerns about the potential loss of customers due to the relocation.
He noted that most customers come from the Island, and connecting to Katangua from the Island is not easy.
Amos added:
"The sale of goods would decline drastically, and people would lose their jobs."
