South-East
governors have mandated the Houses of Assembly in the zone to commence
enactment of state security laws that will give legal backing to the
establishment of regional security in line with its joint security programme
for the zone.
The governors, who had a joint meeting with Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other political
leaders of the zone, expressed disappointment with the Inspector-General of
Police for reneging in an earlier agreement they had with the police on the
practice and composition of community policing for the zone.
On the coronavirus pandemic, the governors said they will engage NCDC to scale
up testing of coronavirus in the zone, and further directed that all Igbo’s
living outside Igbo land should obey all extant Covid-19 orders such as the
presidential directive on interstate movement, World Health Organisation and
NCDC hygiene protocols, the presidential task force and the directives of the
South East governors and directives of all governors where they reside.
