Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has appealed to residents of the State to take personal responsibility to curb the spread of Coronavirus, as he imposed curfew on Bonny Local Government and Onne Community.

He also cautioned that with the commencement of inter-state travels and domestic travels, residents must be cautious in relating with friends and relatives coming from heavily impacted areas like Lagos and Abuja in line with the established protocol of 14 days Isolation.

Wike made the appeal in Port Harcourt today in a state-wide broadcast.

He stated that to sustain the progress made in the state, the State Security Council has imposed a night time curfew from 8p.m to 6a.m on Bonny Local Government and Onne Community in Eleme Local Government with effect from July 10, 2020 until further notice.

“As at July 8, 2020, the COVID-19 status of our State is as follows: Total samples collected: 4573, Total samples tested: 3871, Total confirmed cases: 1235, Total discharged cases: 810, Total active cases: 382, Total death: 43, New cases: 30.

“From the first days of this virus, we took serious measures and literally set the pace in our country to slow down the spread.

“We have noticed that most affected people are resorting to self medication instead of presenting themselves for treatment at the State’s Treatment Centres.

“Those who experience symptoms of fever, cough, loss of smell or taste and shortness of breath, among others should present themselves for appropriate treatment at the expense of the State Government.

“Furthermore, in the face of increasing infections and systemic risk to public health and safety, most residents have continued to disregard the mitigating protocols with reckless abandon.

“Public and private transporters, business owners and churches are refusing to adhere to the relevant protocols,” he said.

Government, he said, is also appraising the prospect of opening markets as soon as it is satisfied that it is safe with appropriate guidelines on social distancing, hand washing and wearing of face masks.

Wike announced the setting up of a Joint Taskforce made up of security and civilian personnel to enforce the wearing of face masks.

The Governor assured all health workers, including doctors and nurses that government would continue to cater for their welfare as they continue to serve the state at grave risks to their own lives.

He added that government would not fail to do whatever it takes to slow down the spread of the virus.

Despite the cases of coronavirus being on a rise across Africa, in some countries people don’t believe the pandemic is real. Fake news and mistrust in the government mean a lot of Nigeria's population thinks the pandemic is a hoax.

Wicked wike n curfew are like hot bread n butter

A lot of people still think this is a hoax. Nigeria Government is sincerely not doing enough and I hope we vote for a more capable person in 2023 and not a walking corpse.

have u been paid b4 for commenting first?

Government needs to do more and be creative in solving this problem....

Curfew will not stop it spread...

Think big on what's the best method to adopt in managing the pandemic..

All I see are curfews that kill economic activities and human efforts despite failed policies, programmes and empty talk...

The thing dey tire no be small cos he & his families have access to state resources, apparatus and free money..

Curfew is not the best option to use.... Talk less and think more by engaging technocrats.

Imposing curfew will not stop the spread rather massive testing and giving out palliatives will curtail the spread.

Wike - D Man Of Covid 19

8-6am? Not really a bad one.

But why is it that none of the states in Nigeria is interested in finding/researching a cure for Covid 19 ?

Because they all lack the ability to think.


The only mumu language they understand is LockDown' with no support to the masses. While they enjoy free food, money, transportation, electricity, ACs, and accommodation, all in tax payers money.

Nigeria Leaders are so dumb and Stu.pid.
What a pity!
