Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed delight after encountering heavy traffic in the commercial city of Onitsha on Monday, describing it as a sign that the long-standing Monday sit-at-home has eased significantly.

The governor, who attended the Delta State Economic Summit in Asaba, apologised for arriving about 15 minutes late, explaining that he was delayed by traffic in Onitsha.

“Today is Monday, and experiencing traffic in Onitsha on a Monday can only mean one thing: the Monday sit-at-home is over,” Soludo said.

Earlier this year, the Anambra State Government reiterated that there was no official Monday sit-at-home order in the state and warned that traders and transport operators who shut their businesses on Mondays without lawful justification could face sanctions.
