- The management of an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket has come under fire for denying Nigerians entry into the facility.
- The supermarket situated at the China General Chamber of Commerce, along Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in Abuja, is acclaimed as a destination for Chinese cuisine and beverages.
Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker, has called for the demolition of a Chinese supermarket located in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for allegedly barring Nigerians from shopping in the facility.
There had been earlier reports that the management of the shop located at the China General Chamber of Commerce on Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in Abuja had given security guards instructions to deny entry to Nigerians.
Concerned Nigerians responded to the development by calling on the government of that country to compel the supermarket to admit its citizens.
Shehu Sani, a former federal senator, stated that the facility need to be demolished in compliance with national legislation.
In a post on his official X handle on Monday, Shehu Sani wondered why a supermarket in Nigeria would not be accessible to the citizens.
“Any Supermarket in our Country that is not accessible to the Citizens of Our Country but to foreigners, should be forcibly opened or be pulled down in accordance with the laws of our Country,” Sani wrote on X
