A statement delivered by his Senior Special Adviser on Media, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, said on Friday that the governor gave the order while addressing officers of the guard in Owerri.
The civil guard is a security outfit set up by the state government to maintain peace and order.
Okorocha urged them to assist the state government to relocate the street traders on Douglas Road to the Relief Market in order to de-congest the state capital.
He said the aim was to make Owerri one of the cleanest cities in the country.
