Anambra Loses N19.6b During Any Sit-at-home Day – Soludo

Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, has said the state loses N19.6billion every day that there is sit-at-home.
Soludo, a professor of economics, who stated this at an enlarged meeting with Anambra State Elders and Stakeholders Forum, and Forum of Heads of Broadcast Media Stations in Anambra State, appealed to people spilling blood in the state to have a rethink, adding that such actions did not define who Anambra people were.
He said, “Anambra State economy loses an estimated sum of N19.6billion every time the sit-at-home directive is enforced in the state.
“Such actions do not define who we are. That is why we are calling on those responsible to stop because we are hurting ourselves.”
Professor Soludo while calling on Ndi Anambra to be watchful, praised Governor Willie Obiano for what he called outstanding achievements.
“Governor Willie Obiano has delivered sustainable legacy projects to Ndi Anambra including the Anambra International airport, the International convention centre, Awka and the Awka stadium,” he said.
