The Rivers State Government has warned members of the state’s  business community against using the government imposed curfew to cripple government and economic activities.

In a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communications Paulinus Nsirim, it read  “It has come to the attention of the Rivers State Government that some members of the Business Community are using the curfew imposed in some parts of the State  as an excuse to cripple government and economic  activities”

The statement added that Commercial Banks and other businesses are supposed to be  open for normal services.  “Therefore, Commercial Banks where government accounts are
operated are advised not to join those involved in any unpatriotic act or lose their patronage”

The statement added that “For the avoidance of doubt, curfew was imposed only at Oyigbo Local Government Area, Mile One, Mile Two, Iloabuchi, Emenike  Ikokwu and Oil Mill areas of Port Harcourt”.

“All other parts of the State are expected to be fully open for business”, it stated
