COVID-19: Enugu Govt Closes All Borders, Markets by OEPHIUS(m): 9:47pm On Mar 27, 2020
The Enugu State Government has ordered the closure of all land borders and inter-state transportation in the state till further notice, with effect from 6pm on Tuesday, March 31, 2020, except those on medical emergency services.

In a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, the state government also ordered the closure of all markets in the state, “no matter the size, till further notice, with effect from 6pm on Tuesday, the 31st day of March, 2020”.

The statement added that other categories exempted from the closure include “those dealing on food items, water, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and other basic items of daily domestic need who must comply with the standard hygiene protocol as stipulated by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), including frequent hand washing with soap, use of sanitizer and social distancing.”

According to Prof. Ortuanya, “all Local Government Chairmen are hereby directed to ensure strict compliance with the closure of the markets within their respective local government councils, without prejudice to the exceptions above”.

While appealing for understanding from the residents and citizens of the state “at this difficult time as no sacrifice is too much to save the lives of our people”, the state government directed the security agencies and the State Medical Response Team to enforce all the directives as stated above.

Enugu State is in the hands of God! ##

Reverse is the case in Afonja land
A vast number of them don't even care about face masks, latex gloves and the rest..
Unfortunately for my beloved Nigeria food was shared yesterday in one of the afonja clans and disparate souls were all out stampeding

Y'all know how they are when food is involved na

Things are just getting messier on a daily and doom seem imminent, but these afonjas don't care angry

If Enugu electricity distribution company (EEDC) refuses to provide 24hr power during this lockdown and at least make life easier they must be forced to leave the East forever with their wickedness and incompetence. Let someone else take their license.
