**Monday Lockdown: Anambra Shuts Down Nnewi Auto Spare Parts Market** In a stern move to enforce compliance with the state's directive against the Monday sit-at-home order, the Anambra State Government has temporarily shut down the New Auto Spare Parts Association (NASPA) Market in Nkwo Nnewi. The market will remain closed for business from midnight on February 23, 2026, until Monday, March 2, 2026. The shutdown is a direct response to the low compliance rate with Governor Chukwuma Soludo's order to end the Monday sit-at-home in the state. The government has warned that if compliance is not substantial by next Monday, the market may face further closure. This is not the first time the state government has taken drastic measures to enforce compliance; in January, the Onitsha Main Market was shut down for a week. The move is part of the government's efforts to restore normalcy in the state and prevent economic sabotage. Governor Soludo has made it clear that his administration will not tolerate the undermining of public safety and official directives. The governor has also warned that if traders and customers do not comply with the directive, the market may be closed permanently. The shutdown has implications for the local economy, particularly for traders and customers who rely on the market for their livelihood. The government has advised traders and customers to avoid the market until it reopens on March 2, 2026, to avoid issues with law enforcement agents. The Anambra State Government is determined to enforce compliance with the Monday sit-at-home order and restore normalcy in the state. The move is a clear signal that the government is committed to protecting the interests of the people and preventing economic sabotage. As the state continues to navigate the challenges posed by the Monday sit-at-home order, one thing is clear: compliance is non-negotiable.
