Imo state debunks report on public holiday, says ‘return back to work’
The Imo State Government, through the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, urged people to go about their legitimate businesses without fear of molestation as the state did not declare a public holiday in the state on Monday as most people remained at home with schools, banks and most businesses shut.
The statement assured people and the residents that the government is determined to safeguard lives and property.
The state has instructed civil servants to report to duties, as anyone who fails to comply will be severely dealt with.
The statement said,
“This is to inform all indigenes and residents of Imo State that government has not authorized any public holiday or sit at home across the state, either today, Monday, March 21, 2022, or any other working day.
“Consequently, everyone is advised to go about his or her normal duties.
“Civil servants are particularly advised to ensure that they are in their offices discharging their responsibilities. Those who abstain from duty without authorization will be sanctioned accordingly.
“Government hereby assures all indigenes and residents of adequate security as they go about their lawful activities.”
