Sobre este Trap
Ekeoha Shopping Centre off Asa Road is Aba's oldest market and a textile hub, but it is being rebuilt in phases. In March 2026 the first phase of 984 shops was reported about 97 percent complete, with allocation to original traders planned from late April, and no report confirms they have all moved back. Ask a driver or trader which section is trading now, and go in the morning so you are not left looking at a building site.
