BREAKING: Soludo orders closure of Onitsha Main Market over sit-at-home defiance

Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has ordered the closure of the Onitsha Main Market for one week after traders failed to comply with the state government’s directive to ignore the Monday sit-at-home order.

The directive, announced on Monday, affects Onitsha Main Market, one of West Africa’s largest commercial hubs, known for its pivotal role in regional trade.

The state government had previously instructed traders and businesses to operate as usual on Mondays, aiming to restore economic stability and curb disruptions caused by frequent sit-at-home observances.

Governor Soludo’s decision underscores the administration’s commitment to enforcing compliance and ensuring uninterrupted commercial activity in the state.
