Abia Government has frowned at the outright disobedience to the lockdown Order by members of various Transport Unions in the State.
A release signed by the Secretary to Abia State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem, directed Executives of NURTW, NATO, RETAN, Cooperatives, SATOA, ATRIWA and TOAN to ensure strict compliance by their members to the said Government Order.
The release warned that Government will not hesitate to dissolve and prosecute any Transport Union that contravenes this directive.
“All the parks of the above unions are to remain closed during the lockdown period. Government also directs that any Association or park that violates the said order should be shut down and the heads of such association and/or park prosecuted accordingly.
The Security Agencies and Enforcement Team are by this notice directed to apprehend and prosecute defaulters to this Government Order,” the release said.
