Governor Soludo has outlawed the sit-at-home destructive instruction order of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra(IPOB) and ordered the state’s civil servants and markets in Anambra State to resume work on Mondays.
At separate meetings with market leaders on Friday, Soludo said the state government would no longer tolerate the shutting down of markets on Mondays, resolving with
market leaders that markets would reopen fully on Monday April 4, 2022.
The governor who held a town hall meeting with all the market leaders in all Anambra markets and also the leaders of the respective transport unions in the state at the Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Center Awka, noted that his administration has great plans for all Anambra markets.
The was attended by the Deputy Governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, Security Agencies, among others.
Soludo also noted that the market leaders and transporters are critical stakeholders in the new Anambra project said that the economy of Anambra is dominated by the commercial sector.
He restated his commitment towards cleaning up all the markets but empathized that all must join hands to restore Anambra to it’s prime status.
But factional leader of IPOB, Simon Ekpa has dismissed Soludo's directive as one that is dead on arrival.
Ekpa cautioned Soludo not to endanger the life of Anambra people with his directive, urging to take cues from his predecessor, Willie Obiano, and Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi, who tried to stop the sit - at - home in their respective states but failed.
