The Onitsha Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ONICCIMA) has urged the Anambra Government to use dialogue to resolve the closure of Onitsha Main Market in the interest of the people.
The chamber said that it has taken note of the recent one-week closure of the Onitsha Main Market ordered by the Gov.
This is contained in a statement signed by the ONICCIMA President, Chinedu Nwonu, and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Onitsha.
“Government records shows that the South-East region reportedly loses about ₦19.6 billion weekly as a result of sit-at-home activities, with Anambra State accounting for approximately ₦8 billion of that loss.
He also charged Anambra government to restore confidence, protect businesses, and ensure the full return of Onitsha Main Market to normal Monday-to-Saturday operations in a safe, secure, and sustainable manner.
