Covid-19: Wike Declares Total Lockdown of Port Harcourt City, Obio/Akpor LG
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has announced a 24-hour lockdown on Port Harcourt City and Obio/Akpor Local Government Area as part of the state government’s measures to check the spread of coronavirus.
“All shops, trading or business activities, including currency exchange, in these local government areas must also remain closed until further notice. He said the positive cases have shown and confirmed the state’s fears that unmonitored entry of oil and gas workers from Lagos, Abuja and elsewhere remains a potential source for the importation and spread of Covid-19 in the state.
According to him, “This government is focused and therefore will not allow itself to be distracted on its battle against Covid-19. However, we will neither tolerate nor hesitate to deal with anyone who dares to fabricate lies to rubbish the hard work and sacrifice we are making to save the lives in our state just to advance parochial partisan interests.”
