Anambra State Governent has described as unacceptable, the continued compliance to the sit-at-home order by Transport operators in across the state.
Governor Willie Obiano met with Transport Leaders at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, where he cautioned against further adherence to the order which he said has become inimical to the state economy.
While expresing concern about the adverse effect of the compliance to Anambra families, Governor Obiano wondered why they comply, stressing that Anambra economy mainly thrives on commerce.
The Governor urged the commuters to feel free to ply their usual routes across the state on monday, depending on whether they ride or drive motorcycles, keke, shuttle, buses, stressing that if markets don’t open, he will sack the leadership of the market and directed the Commissioner for Trade and Commerce, Mr. Uchenna Okafor who was also part of the meeting to pass the information across to them.
However, Governor Obiano emphasized that if they don’t comply, their leadership will be changed within two weeks.
He used the opportunity to stress that following his directive long ago, collection of levies on Anambra roads had been banned, pointing out that people who collects levies on the road should be regarded as thieves, assuring that security operatives are on ground to implement government directives.
