Soludo orders reopening of Onitsha main market February 2
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has announced the reopening of Onitsha Main Market on Monday, February 2, less than a week after the state government shut down the market over traders’ continued observance of the Monday sit-at-home.
The announcement was contained in a press statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor. According to the statement, “This is to inform the general public that the closure of Onitsha Main Market, ordered by Mr Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, lapses this weekend.”
The statement added: “to that effect, all traders are hereby informed to resume business as usual on Monday, February 2, 2026, as there is no longer any form of sit-at-home on Mondays in Anambra State”.
“Meanwhile, civil servants and teachers are reminded that the pro rata salary system remains in force: no work on Monday, no pay. Also, parents must release their children for school on Mondays to avoid sanctions”.
“Ndị Anambra and residents are assured of adequate security and encouraged to report any security concerns to 5111”.
