Anambra State Government Seals Shops In Ogidi Markets Over Monday Sit-at-home. All sealed shops will remain sealed for 2 weeks.

The Anambra State Government has again sealed several shops belonging to traders in markets around Onitsha and neighbouring communities for failing to open for business on Monday.

Most of the affected shops were located at the Building Materials Market, Ogidi, where traders reportedly stayed away from their businesses despite the state’s directive.

However, the government commended traders at the Electrical Parts Dealers Market, Obosi, for complying with the directive and opening for business.

It was father that the Special Adviser to the Governor on Markets, Evarist Uba, conducted a monitoring tour to assess compliance with the policy mandating markets to operate on Mondays.

During the visit, he observed significant commercial activity at the Obosi market, describing it as a welcome departure from prolonged weekly shutdowns that had affected economic activities in the state.

Uba commended traders who complied with the directive but warned that defaulting shops would remain sealed for two weeks as a deterrent.

Market leaders who spoke during the inspection expressed support for the government’s enforcement.
