Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has declared that his administration no longer adheres to directives from non-state actors, including the sit-at-home orders previously enforced in the Southeast. The governor made this known during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s official visit to Enugu State on Saturday.
The sit-at-home orders, imposed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in solidarity with their detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had disrupted daily activities in Southeastern states for years. Speaking on his administration’s security efforts, Mbah emphasized that his vision for Enugu State could only be realized in an environment where safety is assured, education flourishes, and healthcare is accessible to all.
Highlighting measures taken to enhance security and public order, the governor stated that the illegal sit-at-home orders had been effectively abolished. “We no longer observe sit-at-home in Enugu. Our people go to work every day of the week, and we no longer take orders from non-state actors,” he asserted.
Governor Mbah also commended President Tinubu for implementing bold economic reforms, such as the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the foreign exchange system. He acknowledged these actions as critical to freeing up funds for development projects in the state.
“Thanks to your courageous decisions, we can now fully execute various projects. This isn’t limited to physical infrastructure alone but extends to social and digital advancements that benefit our people,” Mbah remarked.
The governor expressed gratitude for the federal government’s social intervention programs, which he described as vital for national progress and the well-being of citizens.
