Onitsha is a commercial city on the bank of river Niger in south-eastern part of Nigeria and a big commercial hub in that region. It is allegedly known to be the city with the biggest market in the whole of west Africa. Over several years, because of the existence of governmental policies and legislations that favours local and international businesses in the state, there have been a great influx of businessmen and businesswomen from all over the world visiting and investing in Onitsha.
