Governor Hope Uzodimma has ordered the immediate suspension of all activities of the Imo State Environmental Transformation Commission (ENTRACO) until further notice.
The directive followed a report of an incident in Owerri, linked to ENTRACO operations, which claimed one life and left another person critically injured.
Governor Uzodimma expressed concern over the tragic development and similar recent incidents that have raised public questions about ENTRACO’s mode of operation.
He said government will not condone any form of recklessness under any agency of the state, emphasizing that the safety and wellbeing of citizens remain his top priority.
However, the Governor warned that the temporary suspension of ENTRACO’s operations should not be seen as permission for citizens to violate traffic, environmental, or other public laws.
He cautioned that anyone found breaching such laws would face the full weight of the law
