I don't know if this is the best thing to do now but whatever keeps us safe, let's go for it... That's if its strictly our interest(Nigerians) they've got in mind cause after from cause we keep getting hit by boko haram, they got another reason...
The Federal Government has decided to shut down all government offices and schools in Abuja to ensure free flow of traffic in the city centre during the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The major reason basically is to ensure a free flow of traffic for the dignitaries that would be coming to attended the WEF from around the world. It really wasn't about our safety people.
The WEF on Africa is slated to hold in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from May 7 thrpugh to 9, 2014. A statement by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim, stated that the directive is to ensure free flow of traffic in the city centre.
REALLY??? It just hurts that its not really for the masses.
His statement: “This is to inform the general public that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, has approved, as part of arrangements for the successful hosting of the World Economic Forum Africa, that all Government Offices and Schools in the Federal Capital Territory, expect those on essential services, are to be closed from Wednesday, 7th to Friday, 9th May, 2014. Private Organisations with large number of staff may also wish to close down.”
Abuja has been under severe terror attacks in the past three weeks with two major bomb blasts that has killed scores of people. When I first heard of this closure, I sincerely thought it had to do with keeping us safe... Its to control the traffic people. Pray to God for safety.
