US EditionNigeria: Soludo Abolishes Monday Sit-At-Home in 12 More Markets
- On Wednesday, the Anambra State government issued a circular abolishing the Monday sit‑at‑home in 12 markets after a one‑week closure of Onitsha Main Market for traders' refusal to open on Mondays.
- Tied to Nnamdi Kanu's 2021 arrest, the sit‑at‑home traces to a protest, and Soludo said he confronted Kanu who called the order wrong; Soludo claims some politicians sponsor it as economic sabotage.
- Soludo warned that any shop not open could be sealed and occupants face legal action, with government monitoring teams conducting random inspections and non-compliant markets closed for one month.
- Mass protests erupted on Tuesday over the Onitsha Main Market closure, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo backed Soludo, urging investigation and possible disbandment of market leadership.
- Soludo warned the sit‑at‑home undermines traders' livelihoods and the state economy, noting Monday is the most important day; Aloy Ejimakor urged ending it through dialogue, while Ohanaeze Ndigbo said it harmed the South‑East economy over five years.
