The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has ordered the immediate closure of intercity motor parks/loading bays in the state starting from Monday as the state begins relaxation of the ongoing lockdown.
This was disclosed by the Chief Press Secretary to the State Governor, Mr. Onyebuchi Ememanka on Sunday.
The new regulation must be enforced to the letter by the State Task Force. Vehicles that flout this latest directive must be impounded and the drivers prosecuted. Ememanka further added “Governor Okezie Ikpeazu makes it abundantly clear that the relaxed lockdown is provisional and that its sustenance will be determined by the way our people show respect to the laid down protocols.
Describing the decision to relax the lockdown in phases as government’s desire to strike a balance between two equally important imperatives of managing a public health emergency and sustaining the economic survival of our people, Governor Ikpeazu charged our people to rise to the challenge of taking personal responsibility for their own safety by observing all the laid down protocols of social distancing, the use of face masks and high standards of personal hygiene.
