He stressed that government's directive to stay safe and healthy until the scourge is contained by health professionals, was in the best interest of the traders no matter the immediate hardship.

He called on the people of Anambra state to continue supporting the APGA led government in the state, towards delivering the dividends of democracy to them. He also asked the traders to report to any case of dry cough, high fever and difficulty in breathing which are the signs of this deadly virus to the isolation centre in Nnewi at NAUTH.
