The Abia state governor, Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu says his government has noticed with dismay the outright disobedience to the lockdown Order by members of various Transport Unions in the state.

The Governor said consequently, Executives of NURTW, NATO, RETAN, Cooperatives, SATOA, ATRIWA and TOAN are directed to ensure strict compliance by members to the said Government Order.

In a release signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem, Ikpeazu said Government will therefore not hesitate to dissolve and prosecute any Transport Union that contravenes this directive.

“All the parks of the above unions are to remain closed during the lockdown period. Government also directs that any Association or park that violates the said order should be shut down and the heads of such association and/or park prosecuted accordingly.

“The Security Agencies and Enforcement Team are by this notice directed to apprehend and prosecute defaulters to this Government Order” he said.
