The Enugu State government, on Tuesday, warned that schools, markets and shops that fail to open and function normally in the name of observing the illegal sit-at-home order will be shut down indefinitely.
“The attention of the Enugu State Government has been drawn to reports on social media this Tuesday morning that proprietors of private schools in the state are sending messages to their pupils and students to the effect that they should not come to school from today on account of the illegal one week sit-at-home order allegedly declared by faceless non-state actors in the state.
“The Enugu State Government is alarmed and dismayed by this development and hereby warns that any school that fails to open and function normally from today will have its licence revoked immediately. “The Enugu State Government also extends the same warning to market unions and shop owners in the state. All markets and shops in the various markets must be open to customers from today or be shut down indefinitely.
“Government reiterates its ban on any form of illegal sit-at-home in all parts of the state, as it is evil and antithetical to all values we hold dear as a people, such as the Igbo spirit of industry, hardwork, creativity and productivity,” the government said. The state said it would no longer sit by and watch faceless groups and misguided individuals issue illegal orders, “dictating to us how to lead our lives, when to go to work or market and when our children go to school, while they ply their trade and their children go to school.”All rights reserved.
