Impact of the Weekly Sit-at-Home Exercise

The southeast region of Nigeria has been hit hard by a weekly sit-at-home exercise.

This is a protest started by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to call for the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in 2021. It has been happening almost every Monday since then.

This has had a big impact on the economy. It’s been two years since the exercise started on August 9. Out of 730 days, 105 Mondays, or working days, have been lost. This means no work was done on those days.

The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) did an investigation.

They published a report in May this year. According to this report, businesses in the region have lost a massive N5.375 trillion from August 9, 2021, to December 19, 2022.

All these losses have led to an estimated total loss of N7.6 trillion in productivity and potential investments, as well as the loss of lives and properties in just two years.
