It is hope rising for the economy of the South East geopolitical zone as the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu finally abolishes the sit at home in the area.
IPOB media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful said in place to the sit at home, its leader has declared that every Monday should be observed as Economic Empowerment Day( EED).
Powerful said EED is henceforth a day set aside for mass mobilization of Biafrans to devote their resources and means towards reversing the sharp and unprecedented decline in the economic, educational, and social needs of the people as a result of the prolonged sit-at-home for the past two years.
According to him, the people are encouraged to use the day set aside for EED to embark on massive deployment of their resources for the empowerment of the educationally disadvantaged and poverty- ridden population.
His statement read: "Following the total cancellation of all forms of sit-at-home in the entire South-East, as clearly and unequivocally encapsulated in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s handwritten letter which was recently published by special counsel Barrister Alloy Ejimakor, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has as a follow up to the recorded acceptability and massive compliance with the directive, further directed to henceforth, set aside every Monday as an “Economic Empowerment Day (EED)” in the entire South-East.
"During this exercise, Biafrans are encouraged to embark on massive deployment of their resources for the empowerment of the educationally disadvantaged and poverty ridden population of our people.
"Through education, employment, health services, sense of identity and community, our people and indeed, the Eastern region, can begin to thrive and grow.
"There is an urgent need to reclaim our lost glory by embarking on empowering Biafrans with the resources they need to live beyond mere subsistence as our people are known globally for hard work, resilience and great achievements.
"Also, the implication of this is that Biafrans are expected to devote significant time to adhere to their routine calendar schedule template strictly and uninterruptedly with a view to making up for the humongous time lost to the activities of misguided enforcers of unsanctioned Monday sit at home order."
