Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has ordered the closure of the Onitsha Main Market for one week over the traders’ failure to comply with the directive to defy the Monday sit-at-home order.

The decision, announced on Monday, affects the popular commercial hub widely regarded as one of the largest markets in West Africa.
The state government had earlier directed traders and businesses to continue normal activities on Mondays, as part of efforts to restore economic stability and end the disruption caused by recurring sit-at-home observances.
