The Enugu State Government has praised civil society organisations and residents who adhered to the government’s ban on Monday’s sit-at-home orders by peacefully demonstrating in the capital city yesterday. In previous announcements to the people and residents of Enugu State, the government directed businesses and shop owners to open for normal operations on Monday and every workday. Failure to comply would result in the sealing of defaulting business premises and shops. All businesses that were sealed will remain closed for one week. The government, in a statement issued by Prof Chidiebere Onyia, the Secretary to the State Government, announced that all considerations shall begin from Friday, July 28, 2023, from 2.00 pm at the Enugu State Capital Development Authority (ECTDA) headquarters.
