Markets, Banks, and Shopping Malls Open In Enugu Against Order.

Several youths took to the streets of Enugu State on Monday to support efforts to end sit-at-home, saying the South-East region’s economy was being crippled.

This is also because the Enugu State capital witnessed some turnout, with popular shopping malls, markets, and banks opening to customers.

Speaking to newsmen, one of the youths, Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu, who led others in the march against sit-a-at-home, said the youths were “demonstrating the desire, resolve and endorsement of an end to sit-at-home in the South-East.”

“We are Igbo youths and stakeholders gathered from the five states of the South East to declare and endorse the end to sit-at-home.

“We acknowledge that sit-at-home commenced because of our brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s detention. It gained so much support in solidarity with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu initially. But as it is now, it is affecting us. Our economy is shrinking, and its adverse effects are just too much.

“Miscreants and criminals are causing so much mayhem in our society in the name of sit-at-home, and we say no to all forms of criminalities in the South East. Thus, we are convinced that it is now time to end it, just as Kanu himself has said,” he added.

The South-East Coordinator of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Chidi Nzekwe, regretted that institutions in the South-East didn’t operate on Mondays. “Now we are talking about another 14 days of sitting at home. We want to encourage our youths and students to come out. Let us stand together to end this sit-at-home.”

On his part, the youths leader, Ohanaaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Enugu State chapter, Nnamdi Odo, stressed that the difference between the Monday march and others before it was the coming together of youth representatives and stakeholders from the five South East states to speak with one voice against sit-at-home.

“Today, we are out to show solidarity with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s stand and the South East governments trying to end sit-at-home. We are concerned that our economy is being crippled, and we, the youths, are now taking this message very seriously because if we don’t kill sit-at-home, sit-at-home will kill us. God forbid.”

Meanwhile, monitoring around Enugu town showed significant compliance with the state government’s ban on sit-at-home.
