Following the closure of Onitsha Main Market by Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the market leadership has agreed to stop observing sit-at-home order on Mondays as earlier directed by the state government.

It specifically expressed willingness to comply with the governor’s directive that they begin operation every Monday but highlighted logistics and security challenges.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, said the Chairman of Onitsha Main Market, Chijioke Okpalugo, gave the assurance when the governor hosted the traders.

The statement said Okpalugo pledged that traders would begin Monday operations in alignment with the governor’s vision for a “One Anambra.”

Also, the traders’ leadership presented several requests to ensure a successful transition.

Their demands include provision of proactive security to protect traders and customers, ensuring motor parks are fully operational to attract buyers from outside the state, and decisive action against individuals who benefit from or facilitate the sit-at-home order.
