Economic activities which were grounded on Tuesday, January 2, 2024 in the economic capital city Douala, as a result of new year celebrations have regained normal steam this Wednesday January 3.
Business persons who opened their shops in Douala on January 2 complained of an unprofitable day.
‘Camp Yabassi as you know is a business hub. Today the place is deserted, many shops closed, probably because of the new year celebration. I opened my shop and unable to sell due to no customers. I even regret opening,’ Joseph Ezenwa , a business operator at Camp Yabsssi said.
Kasalafarms business area in Nkoulouloun was also deserted with shops closed. The atmosphere was not a resting one for Shaba who sells clothes.
‘ I decided to sell today in order to finish the stock I have. If most people didn’t open, it is an opportunity for me.’
At Douche municipal Akwa, economic activities were timid. This was the practical reality in other business places in Douala.
