Traders at the Onitsha Main Market and other markets across Anambra state have pledged to end the Monday sit-at-home and have declared readiness to resume full activities on Monday in line with the directive of the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
They gave the assurance on Thursday during an interactive session with the governor following the closure of the Onitsha Main Market and the prolonged Monday sit-at-home that has crippled commercial and economic activities in the South-East.
Speaking with journalists shortly after their meeting, the Chairman of Onitsha Main Market, Chijioke Okpalugo, said traders are prepared to commence Monday operations in support of the governor’s vision of a “One Anambra,” but appealed for enhanced security to guarantee the safety of lives and property.
