 President General of  Anambra Markets Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA) , Assures Anambra Govt that all markets in Idemili Zone will now be open on Mondays 


During a crucial meeting on Wednesday with market leaders from the Idemili Zone at the office of the Anambra State Markets Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA) in Onitsha, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Trade and Markets, Chief Evarist Uba (Obannabuenyi), expressed concern that some markets in Idemili zone remained closed last Monday despite repeated warnings by the Prof. Chukwuma Soludo-led administration.


Chief Uba warned that any market found closed on Monday would be sealed for two weeks, stressing that the state government would not hesitate to enforce its directive. 


He noted that if such action could be taken against the Main Market, no other market would be exempt from similar sanctions.


According to him, beyond the temporary closure of markets, the executive of any market or specific line that fails to comply would be dissolved, describing such disobedience as a clear sign of incompetence and a disservice to traders and the state’s economic interests.


In his response, the Anambra Markets Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA) patron, Mr Jude Ezenwakwo, commended the Soludo administration for its interventions in the markets and the state at large. 


He assured the government, on behalf of all markets in the Idemili Zone, that normal business activities would fully resume on Mondays, beginning immediately.


Also speaking, the President-General of ASMATA, Chief Humphrey Anuna, urged traders in the Idemili markets to wake up from what he described as “slumber” and comply fully with the directives of the state government.


He cautioned that continued defiance could attract harsh consequences, calling on traders to be sincere with themselves and align with the Soludo administration’s efforts to restore economic stability, improve ease of doing business, and reposition Anambra as a safe and thriving commercial destination.
