Governor Ikpeazu who had directed the setting up of a committee to review the structural integrity of buildings located in major markets in the state expressed shock that traders are risking their lives in the partially collapsed building and instructed the state Commisioner for Trade and Investment, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, to ensure that the contractor who erected the structure is brought to justice.
