Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly, Edward Ubosi, has ordered the total shutdown and fumigation of the Assembly complex.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Communication, Mr. Jeff Mbah, on Saturday in Enugu.
Mbah said Ubosi gave the order as a precautionary measure, following the death of Mr. Chijioke Ugwueze, member representing Isi-Uzo Constituency.
He said, “The Speaker has ordered the immediate shutdown of the Assembly Complex for decontamination. Also the suspension of all activities till further notice.
“Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Ugwueze’s family, the wife, the children, the people of Isi-Uzo and Constituency, all our distinguished colleagues in the House, and the state government for the irreparable loss.”
