The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has promised to end the sit-at-home order in the state come 2023.
According to Daily Trust, the governor stated this during the occasion of the 2022 Public Servants Day on Tuesday.
He stated that Anambra could no longer afford to lose 20% of its public life to sit-at-home, which he claims is already a way of life in the Southeast.
The governor boasted that his administration had successfully combated criminality, which had taken over eight local government districts in the state when he was inaugurated in March of this year.
He said, “Eight LGAs were totally taken over at the time we came, they said they were unknown gunmen, no, they are known gunmen born of women and from communities.
“Last week, one madman living in Finland said he was declaring sit-at-home, it was only in Anambra that it was not observed. By the time you return next year, we shall stop sit-at-home.
“We must get back to work, working five days a week, we must take back Anambra from the criminals, we can not build a prosperous Anambra when we work four days, when our children go to school four days, that is a 20 per cent loss in productivity.”
Although, the governor had announced an end to the sit-at-home order issued in the Southeast by the Indigenous People of Biafra, a Nigerian separatist organization aiming to restore the Republic of Biafra, the state’s citizens continue to follow the command, nonetheless.
