Where is the 320 million naira Released By Enugu State Govt. By CNPP

The leadership of CNPP Enugu State hereby request for accountability of the sum of 320 million naira recently released by His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the Executive Governor of Enugu State to check the spread of the deadly coronavirus in the state.

Rising from their emergency executive meeting in Enugu, the leadership of the body said they are worried by the attitude of some local government chairmen who have shown little or no visible effort in readiness of any brake out of the deadly virus.

Speaking thru their state Chairman, Chief Adonis Igwe JP, the CNPP body frowned at the attitude of some local government chairmen and some officials who have not made any donation to hospitals and health centres than buying buckets and doing eye service and warn that such attitude will spell doom for the state if not checked and pro active measure taken and advise them to desist from cosmetic approach to this serious issue at hand hence it concern life and according the body, CNPP dont want to loose any soul in the state as it is the responsibility of the leadership of CNPP to see to adequate implementation of government policy and improve the lives of every human as sworn in the oath of office.

In a statement signed by Chief Igwe JP, the body advise that appropriate measure should be taking like equipping and repositioning our various health centres and hospitals in the rural areas in readiness for any out brake of the virus in the various local government areas in the state.

Is important that we try as much as possible to protect our health workers by equipping them with protective gears and creating some level of good and safety atmosphere that will motivate them to take care of the victims.

The body warn that is not only about sharing money to town union for sensitization and buying of tap buckets and hand sanitizers for the few, in fact we are shocked that no local government in the state has sponsored any radio program in respect to this, being that radio is one of the cheapest means of communication. This is despite the millions of naira shared to the local government chairmen for this reason.

So CNPP is asking all the relevant agencies and officials to sit up to their responsibilities as this virus knows no face when it want to attack. And advise them to think on the direction of equipping the health centres and hospitals. The body wonders why the nurses at ESUT TEACHING HOSPITAL were protesting if actually their demands were met in terms of their safety and advise all the relevant agencies to do the needful.

According to the body, from the information at our disposal, it really very unfortunate that some market leaders in collaboration with local government chairmen, are now exhorting up to N2000 from people to enable them open their shops. Our intelligent gatherings shows that this is taking place in some local government espsocially Nsukka local government area. The body warns any local government chairman partaking in this shameful and wicked dealing to desist or face the wrath of CNPP.

Also, the body berate the attitude of some security agencies and task force enforcing the coronavirus policy on motorists and shop owners and warned that this is not a time for extortion and brutality on anyone as the entire world is feeling the heat of the economic situation. The body therefore call on state commissioner of police to call his men to order and stop making life more difficult for the motorists by way of extortion.

Chief Igwe who said he is worried that the just announced federal government conditional cash transfer to the vulnerable is yet to get to the people of the state and call upon the federal government to please expedite action before another pandemic called starvation brake out in view of the lock down.
