Schools, banks and other offices were all closed. But some of the street traders opened their shops before noon for business, though not at full capacity.
All the major streets including Bank and Owerri Roads were deserted but commercial motorcycle operators were on skeletal services in some areas. Some residents interviewed complained that they were tired of the exercise.
They said they did not go out yesterday for their livelihood because of President Bola Tinubu’s inauguration only to stay at home again on Tuesday.
