The Governor stated that in continuation of the struggle against the spread of the disease, the lockdown was to resume in Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas of the State from Wednesday 27th May 2020.



“However, after a comprehensive review of the measures we have taken and further considerations placed before us by well-meaning members of the public, the State Security Council has decided to cancel the proposed lockdown on Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas of the State.









“In essence, no part of Rivers State is or will be under any lockdown from this moment and this will be so, except where it becomes necessary again,” Wike stated.
