Residents of Anambra State have blamed market leaders, operators of banks, and motor park operators for the prolonged sit-at-home exercise across the state.
An indigene of Nnewi, who gave his name as Paul Okeke, while blaming banks and market authorities for the continued sit-at-home, called for the authorities to beef up security around public places.
He said, “Some sectors of the economy have picked up, the commercial buses have resumed in earnest, mini markets such as street markets are beginning to open, except that major markets and banks that will bring the entire economy to full capacity are not yet functioning. A transporter, Ike Onyeacho, disclosed that it has become a tradition for people to stay indoors on Mondays because they enjoy the exercise as one of the holidays.
