The decision was said to have been taken after deliberations of council meetings reportedly leaked to opposition parties.

According to Daily Trust, the devices are particularly not to be used inside the council chambers and the office of Governor David Umahi.

The newspaper reported that no electronic device was allowed on Monday, May 7, at a meeting Umahi had with the governing council of Ebonyi State University (EBSU).

In a directive which was reportedly posted in strategic areas of the government house, defaulters are to be penalised.
