Enugu Govt Threatens Sanctions Over Planned Market Shutdown at Pro-Tinubu, Mbah Rally

The Enugu State Government has warned market leaders against closing major markets this Saturday for a political rally in support of Governor Peter Mbah and President Bola Tinubu. In a statement from the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Malachy Agbo, the government said forced market closures contradict its efforts to boost investment and productivity. It reminded traders that the ban on illegal sit-at-homes began on June 5, 2023, to protect everyday business activities. The statement stressed that political participation is voluntary and should never disrupt people’s livelihoods. Market associations that proceed with any shutdown risk sanctions from the state government.
